I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Dec 2014
Interview
the hiring process was extremely efficient. they move as fast as you need.
i got responses from the recruiter in minutes and two hours after the interview i got the results.
the office looks nice and the people there also.
it looked too young to my taste. didn't see there anyone older (over 45) with experience but this was only a quick look.
i got a problem that i can solve in 20 min with my laptop, but wen you need to code it on a whiteboard it's a different skill i don't have.
even though your concept is right - they look for potential bugs on your code so make sure you write carefully (i don't).

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
