I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied on the Facebook career website. Received an email response about a month later, and a phone interview was set up about a week later. Brief introductory questions about experience/fit followed by a coding question. Coding question was done online using a coding interview tool.

Question 1
Write a function that parses a string containing sum and multiplication operations and returns the result
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.
