I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
contacted thru linkedn , if I was interested in facebook. Pondered whether to give a try or not . As my impression was facebook being php shop and me being a scala developer it would not match my skillset(Not interested in going back to dreaded c++ either). Meandered and then agreed for phone interview.
I have pretty good exp (10+) most of these interviews are not cakewalks but not hard either. Only concern being absolutely neat monkey coding text book soln in 30-40mins. Most of the interviewers are nit picky and want perfect code. So you have 10 mins to think and 30 mins to code in a collabedit. Unless you are able to monkey code the soln while talking to interviewer , just simply avoid its nothing but sheer nonsense. But if you want to practice then ;-)

Got a call saying they need to take another interview, was nearly about to say thanks but no thanks but ended up taking it just for practice.
LRU cache which gives latest accessed element.
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.
