I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2011
Interview
A phone interview was scheduled after the initial exchange of emails with the recruiter. There were some background questions asked such as "Why Facebook" and "Tell me about an interesting project you have worked on". The rest of the interview consisted of algorithms/data structures questions, with the interviewer trying to dig as deep into every question.

Question 1
Find an algorithm to find the largest sum subarray in an array of integers. (Better than O(n^2) ).
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.

Question 1
Move zeroes in an array to the end while keeping non-zero element order, in place
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
