I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
Got contacted via LinkedIn. Had a chat with the recruiter, a very friendly lady, who asked about my background and about 8-10 simple programming questions at the end. Scheduled a phone interview with an engineer, who was also quite polite and helpful. After asking about my background, he gave me two questions. It wasn't my area of expertise (algorithms) so I did just okay, nothing superstar. Two days later I was told that there aren't any positions fit for me at present but they'd like to stay in touch.

Question 1
Implement needle-in-a-haystack (string search). Make it more robust.
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.
