I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2016
Interview
I had a colleague from my recent summer internship talk to his friend who worked at Facebook refer me. About a week later a recruiter reached out to me to schedule a phone interview.
I had 3 interviews in total. The first one was an initial screening interview over the phone with the recruiter where we simply went over my CV for 30 minutes.
A few days later she scheduled a Skype interview with an engineer from Menlo Park. The interview was technical and I managed to solve 1 question just about on time, with a few minutes left for questions for the engineer before he had to run off.
I was surprised to see the next morning that they wanted to move forward and schedule a 2nd interview with me. This time it would be with another engineer but over video conference. The interviewer was very kind and gave me a hint when I was moving in the wrong direction with my solution. Again, I managed to solve the solution just about on time with a few minutes left for questions.

Question 1
Given an array of n positive integers and a positive integer s, find the minimal length of a subarray of which the sum ≥ s. If there isn't one, return 0 instead.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.

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.

It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
