Implement multiplication using suma dn binary shift operators.
A derivative screening process to make sure that most candidates are rejected, thereby creating a false sense that Facebook employees are somehow exceptional. Recruiters reach out to "potential candidates" to push them through the Blue Jeans humanity grinder. The recruiter's job is to push as many people over the Facebook interview cliff. The interviewers are mostly practicing interviewing skills and hopelessly want to be in management. They are looking for ways to disqualify rather than to qualify the candidate. After getting through some well-crafted gotcha questions, the "potential candidate" will not hear from Facebook recruiters again for 1-year. Facebook's recruiting process appears to be most broken when compared to other companies that offer top tc's.
