General background questions. Then proceeded to coding on CollabEdit. Fairly standard CS questions. Got to ask questions at the end.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
Got contacted via LinkedIn. Had a chat with the recruiter, a very friendly lady, who asked about my background and about 8-10 simple programming questions at the end. Scheduled a phone interview with an engineer, who was also quite polite and helpful. After asking about my background, he gave me two questions. It wasn't my area of expertise (algorithms) so I did just okay, nothing superstar. Two days later I was told that there aren't any positions fit for me at present but they'd like to stay in touch.
