It was my first interview at Facebook. I was very nervous. The interviewer asked me two coding tasks. I was not able to solve the first one although it was very easy. It took more than 75% of the interview coding and debugging it. The second task was easy also and I solved it within few minutes.

Question 1
I only did few interviews so I was very nervous. That was the only reason for doing bad.
good people. Know their stuff. You need to read the job description really well and be sure that you speak to the requirements because *they* may not ask for them precisely in the interview: none the less are expecting you to cover these. They are perhaps more concerned with standard methods than they initially project. Carefree attitude in some employees in interview process, others are VERY interested to hear about process.
This was a phone screen. I said I didn't know html/javascript so they just asked me some programming questions: write a sqrt() function and a strstr() function. I wrote both in java. The sqrt used the bisection method, and strstr was just a nested loop.
I didn't get called back probably because of wrong skill set. Not sure why they wasted the time since it was on my resume.

Question 1
The sqrt() was a bit unusual for an interview question.
