The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
I applied for another position two months prior to being contacted about another position the recruiter felt I was more suited. The phone interview was typical recruiter conversation (CV, languages, types of projects, why I wanted to work at Facebook). I was then asked to complete a code exercise in JS or PHP. It involved sorting and arranging overlapping events on a day calendar like iCal. While I easily complete the exercise and accommodated for all stated and unstated event scenarios, I was told that Facebook was no longer interested after reviewing my code. I was quite surprised and requested additional feedback, but they did not provide it. I gave them several hours of my time to complete their test. The least they could have done was give me 10 more minutes of theirs.
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
