I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
very friendly hiring and interview. The recruiter settled for a telephone interview. I said my English was not good and they allowed me to change it into a face to face interview at the campus.and then I passed the telephone interview but failed the onsite.
Recruiter call was pretty standard, first round was 2 Meta tagged LC mediums in 45 minutes. On-site was 2 coding sessions of 2 LC mediums, a system design interview and a behavioral interview with an engineering manager.

The entire process usually takes 3–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and the specific role. Coding interviews heavily emphasize common DSA topics such as arrays, strings, trees, graphs, BFS/DFS, heaps, hash maps, and dynamic programming. System design becomes increasingly important for E4+ positions.
