Hi everyone!
This is the second time I am interviewed at Facebook for a Software Engineer Intern position so I had a little bit more experience.

Preparation
I used as a guide Cracking the coding Interview and made a exercises of each section on LeetCode.
I started with easy problems and some medium problems as well.

The interview
It was my first video call interview using the coderpad tool and it consisted of two easy problems.

  • 1st Problem: I struggled a little to solve this problem because I was nervous but after 15 minutes I came up with an acceptable O(n) solution.
  • 2nd Problem: At this point I was less nervous and more confident and was able to think more quickly through the solution. However, I ran out of time and couldn't finish the code so I just told the interviewer how I was going to handle the remaining cases and he told me it was ok.

Rejected
I received an email from the recruiter telling me that they are not moving forward with my application for the role.
I have some doubts about the reason why they rejected me because a think I did well. I was also lucky because the two problems were really easy but well, I think I will keep trying next year!
