I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2011
Interview
I got a phone call from a recruiter one day after I applied online. She asked me general questions about my experience and expectations. Onsite interview happened about 10 days later. I only talked to one guy, he once again asked me about my experience, about what I like about FB. Then he asked me one coding questions: given is a binary tree, write a function that returns Lowest Common Ancestor of two given nodes. After I did that, there was some time when I was allowed to ask some qustions about the company/team/ etc. Next day I received an email saying they have no position for me.

Question 1
what can FB do to beat its competitors in my country, where it is not the most popular social network.
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.
