Meta E6 Phone Screen
The interview included predictable Meta-tagged questions, with one question slightly modified. Positive feedback was provided on both coding and behavioral aspects.
Coding Questions:
Minimum Remove to Make Valid Parentheses
A modified version of Merge Sorted Array: Merge two sorted arrays containing duplicate numbers, removing duplicates. Use an additional variable to store the latest merged value and perform a three-way comparison to ignore duplicates.
Example:
Array1: [ -300, -25, -5, 0, 0, 0, 10, 10, 10, 55]
Array2: [ -50, -25, 0, 0, 0, 100]
Answer: [ -300, -50, -25, -5, 0, 10, 55, 100]
Behavioral Questions:
Describe a project you worked on. I discussed my current ongoing project, which is not yet complete. The interviewer suggested I change my story, but there was no negative feedback, so I consider it neutral.
Describe a time you had a conflict with someone. I described a conflict with a team member. To resolve it, I took an indirect approach, seeking design approval from others, such as my manager or other senior team members. Feedback was to use a more direct approach. I will keep this in mind for future interviews.
Positive feedback was received the next morning. The feedback highlighted a structured coding approach and clean code, with mention of one bug that could have been solved within the given time. Detailed behavioral feedback was also provided. I hope this feedback helps in future interview rounds.
