I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2017
Interview
I had the option of an onsite interview or phone interview for the first round. I chose onsite.
They first showed the office, which was pretty cool of course, and then I was led to a room with an interviewer. The interviewer had a very different background, and we had a brief chat and it was clear to me that despite being intimately aware with what facebook was doing for the role I was interviewing for, that topic was never touched. The interviewer did not care for my background or the role I was interviewing for.
I was asked one question - I gave it my best shot. I could definitely have done better, but it was certainly annoying to be judged based on how I solved that one question, instead of a more subjective conversation based on my background.
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.

Question 1
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.
