I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2016
Interview
I was referred by my friend. I interviewed at Facebook in Oct 2016. The question is not difficult but I did not give an optimal answer in the first place. Rather starting to code right after the question was given, I spent some time to explain how would my idea work and simulate the process. I thought more communication would be more important than just coding, but it turnt out not. I would suggest no or little communication with a coding show for the interview.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
