I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Dec 2014
Interview
the hiring process was extremely efficient. they move as fast as you need.
i got responses from the recruiter in minutes and two hours after the interview i got the results.
the office looks nice and the people there also.
it looked too young to my taste. didn't see there anyone older (over 45) with experience but this was only a quick look.
i got a problem that i can solve in 20 min with my laptop, but wen you need to code it on a whiteboard it's a different skill i don't have.
even though your concept is right - they look for potential bugs on your code so make sure you write carefully (i don't).

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
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
