I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2016
Interview
The process started when one of the recruiters reached out to me on LinkedIn. Pretty much asked me a few basic questions which took the place of the screening process and a couple days later I was contacted to set up a round of interviews over the phone. The phone interview was quite easy actually and the interviewer was super nice and helpful.
Two days later I was contacted again to set up onsite interviews. A couple days before the interview, one of their recruiters called me and told me absolutely everything I needed to know for the onsite interviews and what to expect. Right then it was evident that he really did care how well I did and I wasn't just another candidate.
The onsite interviews consisted on just a single 45 minute long technical interview along with a free lunch, tours around their Seattle offices, and a few presentations by some of their engineers.
Just a week later I got the call that I got an offer! Overall, Facebook was by far the best company I have ever interviewed with. They really try and take care of you and sell you the company, instead of just shuffling you through interviews. Because of my interview experience alone I decided to take the offer.
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.
