I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2015
Interview
I had my resume submitted by a Facebook employee and i immediately got an email to schedule a technical interview. I scheduled it 2 weeks in advance because I had a Google interview scheduled for the following week. The interview questions were easy and I was able to answer them on time and had about 10 minutes at the end of the interview to chat with the interviewer. He was pleasant and we chatted about Facebook, the culture and the technology.
At the end of the interview, he said he was pleased with my responses and he will submit his feedback to the recruiter who will let me know what the next steps were.
I was taken aback when 8 days later, I got an email from the recruiter saying they were going to move forward with other candidates. I did not get any feedback whatsoever. I am still trying to figure out where I went wrong!

There were an excessive amount of rounds with a high difficulty of questions for a new grad role. Everyone I spoke too was very friendly though! Study hard and you may be okay.
Asked me two leetcode hard style questions and I knew it was over for me. Interviewer was nice and tried to guide me along the right path but the question just wasnt clicking with me.
