I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Coding on a white board. An easy question. Made bugs and did not finished but get through anyway - the recruiter was rather grading the thought process than details, which was a big positive surprise for me.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Internal recruiter contacted me. I had an initial phone screen with recruiter, including a couple basic technical questions, followed by a phone screen with an engineer where we coded on a collaborative editing Web site. Heard back the next day and we scheduled for an on-site. On-site consisted of 4 interviews, two technical, one architectural, and one behavioral. All interviews involved writing on a white board (actually just writing on the wall in a small room).
Recruiters were consistently punctual and professional. Interviewers were friendly and helped keep the process low-stress.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in May 2014
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me, but I didn't start the phone screen until four weeks later as I wasn't fully prepared. After I passed the phone screen, I was invited to onsite interview the next day. I went to their office two weeks later. After three week I was told that I didn't pass as I didn't do well in the system design round. The recruiter said as I had three years experience, so the position was a senior position, so the system design interview was really critical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I forgot some of the coding problems, but here are what I can remember.
1. move all 0s to the front of an integer array.
2. given a target and a sorted array, find the highest value smaller than the target.
3. given a 0-1 matrix, find the largest graph that is 1-connected.
4. design a system that can quickly return public accounts' activity data. For example, how many persons like/comment Taylor Swift's status.
5. In culture fit round, was asked many questions about how and why did you make this decision, what would you do in this case. For example, why did you apply for grad school? why not go to industry after undergrad? Why did you choose your current company three years ago? Why did you move to this state? If at that time you also got an offer from FB, what would you do? Why FB?
