I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Sent my resume to a recruiter and was contacted the next day to schedule an interview. Facebook was extremely quick about the whole process in keeping with their "move fast" philosophy: my first round was scheduled a week out, then I heard back within 2 business days that the company was flying me out for the final round interview. The on-site interview process was extremely organized and I had my offer before I left.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2017
Interview
A phone interview for 45 minutes. The first 15 minutes was about my resume (general discussion) and the next half hour was dedicated to coding questions. They had their own version of google doc called coderpad. Note that it does NOT have a compile or an execute button.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
The interviewer was not good. Came late, didn't have my resume. No behavioral questions. Went straight to coding part. Solved the first question but follow-up was hard. Didn't give hints. He couldn't get what I was saying nor could I get what he was trying to say.
