Interview
Very nice people. Scheduling the interview and actual interview was straight forward.
Unlike some of the other commenters, I didn't find them to be arrogant or frustrating to talk too.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not really difficult, but I just suffered from a brain freeze.
There was a question about traversing a tree and another about iterating a nested container.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2010
Interview
I received a phone call a few days after applying for a position online. After a brief screening of my skills, the recruiter set up a phase-1 interview with a single Engineer. She gave me the option of doing it over the phone or at the Facebook headquarters. I chose the latter because I live nearby. I was scheduled for a 45 minute interview. The engineer was very friendly and inquisitive about my past projects. This is the easy part, talking about myself. He didn't have a copy of my resume, which I thought was lame. Anyway, after discussing my more recent projects, we moved on to the whiteboard coding part of the interview. This part was a pleasant surprise. It was done in a collaborative way, where I would discuss my solution, psudo-code, then code, and receive suggestions or other form of input from the engineer. The last 15 minutes were spent discussing the culture at Facebook and specifics about the team I was interviewing for. It took them more than a week to get back to me, which I would like to think was because they wanted to complete interviews for the other candidates.
