Interview
I was contacted by a Facebook recruiter in Australia for a US position. Was scheduled a VC round within 2 weeks. The interviewer was from Instagram team. 5 minutes of introduction was followed by two data-structure questions for 30 minutes. I solved and wrote error-free code both the questions. After the interview when I checked solutions, my first algorithm was good but second one was not the lost optimized one. I guess that's where it didn't work well.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Find maximum sum of all elements of an array where no two adjacent elements are considered.
I had a loop with 4 interviews, one behavioral, two algorithm and one system design. The explained the problems clearly and they provided me feedback as I was explaining and working on the solutions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2018
Interview
First phase is 1 hour online coding test with 2 developers. 1 question, easy level from Leetcode.
On site interview is a totally different level. Don't believe "we're looking how you think" kind of stuff. You have 30 minutes to perfectly answer 2 Medium level Leetcode questions. If you don't provide optimal solution - you're out, as simple as that. It's not the difficulty of the questions, but the speed you need to solve them that matter.
The only good part is that they give you a very detailed feedback on what you did right and wrong.
Oh, and they will tell you that they'll call you in half a year. They won't :)
