I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
First had a behavioral phone screen and then a technical phone screen. The process was very organized and efficient, and the recruiters were all very friendly and professional. The technical interview as 45 minutes and was not a particularly difficult question. However, the interviewer was not very good at making it a collaborative process or helping out if I was ever stuck.

Question 1
Given a list of commits and a function to evaluate if a commit broke the build, find the first one that broke the build.
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.
