I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Sept 2015
Interview
The interviewer briefly introduced himself in terms of when he has joined the company and what project he has (lately) worked on.
Then I was required to solve a coding task.
I'd say the task was rather simple, and what the interviewer was looking for was:
-- ability to quickly grasp the task at hand
-- ability to quickly come up with idea how to (efficiently enough) solve it
-- ability to quickly and correctly turn your idea into working code.
Suggestion: once you're done coding -- go through your code, check how it will handle the corner cases, reason out loud about what you're doing. Don't panic :)
Than, at the end you are given the opportunity to ask questions.
As you can expect, they'd like to see you show genuine interest in how things are done there, so showing some excitement helps a lot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions I've been asked:
Do you think what you just coded is correct?
Show me (reason) how your code will behave on <this-particular-input>
What is the time/space complexity of what your solution?
Can we do better than that? Are you sure we can't?

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
It's a large company, but interviewing was definitely a more robotic process. The technical interviewer seemed checked out and didn't explain interview process well. At the end of the interview the interviewer only talked about himself, so I figured I wasn't in the running anymore.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview was okay and I solved two questions but didn’t pass the first round, hard to tell and didn’t get the feedback why I was failed. Probably they don’t have headcount?

Two questions from leetcode, one is the tree and another one is the top k number.
