I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in May 2012
Interview
The talking was accompanied with noise. I was asked a simple string question.
Because before the interview, the website recommend to give a solution which can be explained
easily. I chose the simplest way to do so. And from the interview, I found facebook only want to get some programmer, but not researcher. Several days later, I got rejected. I think sometimes if you have time,
you can choose some complicated algorithm, even you can not make sure to explain very well.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2012
Interview
A friend of mine working there referred me to the recruiter. The recruiter promptly contacted me to set up a phone interview and asked me what I want from my career and if I like fast paced working environment. Everything was very smooth and professional.
The phone interview lasted about an hour and I was asked to write codes on some collaboration editing web site like google doc.
The problem to solve and a couple of function headings were already given in the web page.
The question was about the binary tree. I was supposed to write a function to return the next node in inorder traversal sequence. In itself, it looks complicated but, there was a funciton heading called, init(), that you can use to preprocess and add any data structure you need.
I somehow missed this initially and found this too late :(
