I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Recruiter emailed me long time back in 2009, but I was not available at that time. I started to look for different opportunities earlier this year and contacted their recruiter. The recruiter filtered my email so I waited several months without any response, however with the help from my friend at Facebook finally I was able to contact the recruiter in mid-March. I had two phone interviews with them, the first one went well but second one stumbled me. Then I get rejected after 2-3 days.

Question 1
Write a function to tell if two line segments intersect or not.
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.
