Interview
Facebook went through my university so I went to a meet and greet and got an in-person interview that day after a recruiter briefly looked at my resume. That day, I got 2 straight 45 min interviews where they asked me some coding questions and then I got a chance to ask questions. The first interview wasn't bad but thought the second interview had harder questions. I heard back within a day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the questions:
Given a 2D square input of 0s and 1s (0 is water and 1 is land), if adjacent squares are considered connected (including diagonals), how many separate land masses are there in the input?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Boston, MA) in Sep 2020
Interview
3 rounds. Call (hr) then 2 technical rounds. The call was pretty simple, just your regular get to know the candidate type. The recruiter was really nice and encouraging. The technical interviewers were more design oriented than I expected. Combinatorial mathematical came in handy

Interview
Initial screening through hackerrank, then 2 phone interviews. In my opinion, the screening was the hardest part - once you get past that, the phone interviews are fairly standard technical interviews.
