I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
I solved a challenged at interviewstreet.com
2 weeks after they emailed me asking to send my CV along with some answers, for example: preferred programming languages, current job, time constrains, availabity for interview...
Another email telling me about how to get prepared for the interview (visiting glassdor.com).
After I replied, 1 week later we coordinated the skype interview.
The interview was kind and explained to me any doubt I had.
They called me explaining the good and bad things I did on my first phone screener, and then we planned a second interview. I was able to solve the second problem but probably I took more time than expected and had some bugs that the interviewer helped me to find out.
The day after the second interview I was said "thanks" by Facebook, that my background didn't fit any current position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1.1. given a list of words, group anagrams.
1.2. find all 3 items that sum to 0 in an array.
2.1. Write a function that calculates input strings with operators +,-,*,/ eg. "5+5*6" should output 35
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.

1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
