I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
First part was solving a timed coding challenge from interviewstreet website; then I got a phone call to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview consisted of 3 algorithmic problems to be solved in a shared text editor.
After this round, about 2 months later I went for onsite interviews. There were 3 interview, each 45 minutes long, with no pause between them. Mainly algorithm and data structs problems (backtracking, BST, dynamic programming)
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
