The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in May 2016
Interview
I had one phone interview + 4 on-site interviews: 2 coding, 1 cultural + coding, 1 system design.
My experience suggests that I should have not waste my time with Facebook. It seems that they just interview with people without giving them offer. I had a perfect day at my on-site interview. I heard a few others were like me as well. None of us got an offer. In my case, two of the interviewers were really surprised with my answers and I finished 15 minutes before the time goes up and we chat the rest of the time. One of the interviewers told me that she believes Facebook should hire less people to have enough challenges for the current employees. Recruiters at Facebook are also terrible. They respond to your emails with template answers and unfortunately have very low technical knowledge.
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
