I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
My interview process at Facebook was very chaotic. After being contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn, I was passed through 4 different recruiters during my interview process. While each individual person seemed nice, my experience seemed to reflect my impression of the company as a whole: disorganized and unguided. After intensely preparing for white-boarding interviews, I was ultimately left with ambiguous feedback about their decision not to move forward after the on-site, which seemed largely based on the subjective feedback of a single interviewer. Facebook definitely does not seem like the holy-grail of tech companies to work for that its reputation sometimes suggests.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv) in Jan 2022
Interview
Very nice interviewer. Very casual. No BS intro and talking points. Actually, read the CV before the interview. The interview was as scheduled for 45 minutes. 2 questions, knowledge of javascript internals and DOM manipulation.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2022
Interview
I went through the phone screening process (three easy questions) and scheduled the following interview which never materialized (canceled due to too many
recruitment processes opened at the company, probably cost-cutting measures). That is understandable, but I have wasted some time on the preparation.

Question 1
- the difference between apply/call
- balanced BST complexity
