I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Apply on university job fair. It took about one week to hear back from Facebook and schedule first phone interview. The whole process moves very quick.
The interview is a 45 minutes phone interview. The first 15 minutes was behavior questions and ask details in resume. Then it started to code.

Question 1
1. check whether a string is palindrome
2. reverse words in a string
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Whiteboard questions made overly complicated for the sake of being complicated versus accessing skills. The feedback I received was that the coding portion wasn't up to par, which tells me that had I been hired there my work would have been nit-picked to death, sabotaged, and argued with. No wonder Facebook products are what they are. I'm satisfied that the interview revealed the fit wasn't a good fit in both directions.

Interview
The interview consisted of a phone interview, covering some algorithm design questions. Phone calls were totally technical, little discussion regarding experience etc. Questions had to do with big-O notation, algorithm design and complexity, and data structures.
