I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
1 hour remote phone hour interview. Highly technical, no personality or cultural questions. All they care about is technical capability, as you start contract, they don't care about personality. I was applying for a corporate network position, and only interviewed with one Infrastructure Manager who asked me a barrage of questions related to core networking concepts and application networking. It was a pretty in depth technical interview. The biggest red flag I should have realized is the manager described the environment at Facebook as sink or swim.. Which meant every man for themselves. There's no teamwork atmosphere at Facebook. I got the job and regret I did.
