I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I applied at a campus recruiting event and got an email a few days letter about scheduling an interview on campus. It was a 45 min technical one on one interview. He asked me one straightforward question (see below). A few days after the interview, I got an email inviting me to their Menlo Park location for another interview on campus. I flew out there for University Day and really enjoyed the whole experience. The interview was 45 mins again and the interviewer asked me two questions (see below). I thought I answered the questions really well in O(n) but did not get an offer.

Find all combinations of three numbers in an array that add up to zero.
Given an array of strings, return an array of arrays of anagrams.
Example:
Input: ("car", "rac", "start", "tastr")
output: (("car, "rac"), ("start", tastr"))
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
