I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2016
Interview
I made contact with a recruiter to set up an interview and their initial response was quick. They wanted to set up an interview, however after I sent in my available times, it took them months to get back to me. Eventually after more emails were exchanged we were able to set something up. It ended up being a 1 hour technical phone interview, with 2 questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) Given a list of (x, y) coordinates, return k nearest points to (0, 0)
2) Given a string of parenthesis and characters, remove the invalid parentheses.
eg. "(ab(a)" => "ab(a)"

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
