I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Overall the process is very fast and all the interviewers are very nice.
It take 3 weeks to finish all the interviews (include christmas and new year holidays).
I took 1 phone screen + 2 coding + 1 system design + 1 research interview( for PHD ).
All the coding questions are the common questions you could meet them easily when you read " crack the coding interview" or surf GeeksforGeeks.com, and there was no brainteaser.
The system design problem is kind of hard, because there are no right or wrong answers. I think I didn't perform that well in this round, because I am not very experienced in large system design.
The research interview mainly focus on my research project, and we also had a small coding part, I did well on that.
Honestly, I am kind of surprise that I did not get offer from Facebook, maybe there were some requirements that I did not match.

Question 1
Overall Facebook's interview questions are interesting and not hard. All the interviewers are knowledgable and nice to talk to.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

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)
Interview
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.
