I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
It was 4 interviews in total with a lunch break in the middle.
Two interviews are considered to be conding, one disign and one cultural with a little bit coding.
Overal algorithmic problems on the interview were pretty simple.
But they pay attention to implementation details, make sure that code actually works properly for all the cases and try different test cases.
FB provides great hotel accomodation, one of the best hotels I've ever been :)

Question 1
Gray code, it was lack of time on a cultural interview. I think something like 15 minutes or so it was quite challenging.
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.
