I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in May 2016
Interview
Typical Facebook interview: 1 conversation/coding interview, 2 coding interviews, 1 architecture/design interview. The questions were very typical algorithmic questions that you might see for a software role. Sadly, I had seen a few of the problems before. The interviewers were really friendly and collaborative. The office was really nice and definitely is worth the visit.
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.
