I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2013
Interview
Received message via LinkedIn for an interview, shortly after replying a quick phone call was set up to determine what my interests were and how it aligns with the work available at Facebook. After that, a phone interview is done to screen candidates, the phone interview involves actual coding done using a shared online notepad. Then an in person interview is done which consists of 4 interviews (algorithms - system design - class design/algorithms - behavioral). There is also a break where you can ask an engineer any questions regarding the company. Results come back in a week after the in person interview.

Question 1
signed NDA so cannot discuss. But do prepare for sorting, pattern matching algorithms, design problems such as how to go about implementing certain features in Facebook, and review previous work experience for some stuff to talk about in depth during behavioral interview.

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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)

It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
