I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Normal tech-industry interview process. Whiteboarding/coding, from superficial (trivial) questions, to deep systems knowledge questions. Very difficult interview, but very rewarding experience.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in May 2012
Interview
The talking was accompanied with noise. I was asked a simple string question.
Because before the interview, the website recommend to give a solution which can be explained
easily. I chose the simplest way to do so. And from the interview, I found facebook only want to get some programmer, but not researcher. Several days later, I got rejected. I think sometimes if you have time,
you can choose some complicated algorithm, even you can not make sure to explain very well.
