I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Applied online. First I had a phone screening, after that I had a phone interview where I was asked to solve a programming problem. It was rather straightforward, I solved it with a BFS. The interviewer then asked a couple of questions based on the solution such as running time and how could that be improved. I got called for an onsite interview. They give you total freedom in choosing your interviews date and time. The on site interview took all day long. I had 5 different interviewers asking coding questions, design questions and behavioral questions. The questions were hard but I did not feel nervous at all, all of the interviewers were nice and friendly people.

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.
