Software Development Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
I contacted the campus recruiter and was looped in with a university recruiter from the Menlo Park office.
I had two rounds of interviews.
For the first, I didn't think I did too great. For the second, I thought I did very well, and the interviewer seemed to agree. I implemented DFS and BFS approaches for the second question.
I was surprised when I didn't get an offer based on the second interview, but I guess it's all just luck in the end.
Questions
First interview:
Only got through one question: merge two strings and return a string.
Second interview:
Created a class to process a rolling average of a stream and a dynamic programming problem involving finding the nearest 1 in a matrix, given a specific start coordinate.

Meta Work Experiences
- 5.0Amazing internship experienceSoftware Development Intern • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesDecember 14, 2022Pros: I worked with smart people and learned how to think while solving problems from them all. They provided an excellent compensation and benefit package for interns.Cons: The average internship program lasts 12 weeks, which is insufficient time to thoroughly understand the various technologies I was supposed to use, such as internal metrics to analyze a change in the codebase. Although they had programs to socialize with others, they also didn't allocate a specific time to communicate with other interns.
