I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2010
Interview
I was referred by a friend working @ facebook. The recruiter first gave a phone call to discuss my background. Then a phone interview was scheduled a week later. In the phone interview, it was a guy working on some system projects. He first asked me a few general tech questions. Then he let me to code a program to check if a given string is matching a given regular expression online using collabedit. I didn't do well. So there is no feedback T_T

Question 1
Code a program to check if a given string is matching a given regular expression
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.
