      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 30, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Menlo Park, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Started with two phone screens before an on-site interview. On-site interview was 4 rounds on 1:1 or 2:1 (in the case there was a shadowing interviewer) and includes lunch. On-site interview travel arrangements and reimbursements were handled by a contracted travel agency acting on behalf of Facebook. All my interviewers were very nice and professional. You will be hard pressed to find engineers with big egos here. The recruiters I worked with, on the other hand, mostly seemed like they had their act together. I thought my interviews went well – each of my on-site interviewers complimented me on my solutions, so I was surprised when my recruiter emailed me that I did not get an offer. Something fishy is definitely going on at Facebook. I am under the impression that their HR department is not completely honest with their candidates. If you sort the interviews by date on Glassdoor, you will notice that no one recently has been getting offers. I've been told by friends (inside and outside the company) that they thought Facebook wasn't even hiring anymore until the Fall... So I was definitely surprised when I was approached with the opportunity to interview with Facebook. I am at a loss of words after receiving my rejection despite the positive feedback my interviewers provided me. This experience has definitely deterred me from considering Facebook for future employment as it feels like I was brought through the process just so HR could justify their recruiting budget despite there being no job.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      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.
