The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Sept 2009
Interview
- received offer to interview in email
- had a phone screen with recruiter
- had a phone screen with questions from a software engineer. The engineer was very difficult to understand. I asked him to pick up the handset and he said that he was unable to.
First question: for a random-ordered bucket of numbers 1 through 3000 with one number missing, how would you detect which number is missing?

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
OA, 3 questions, medium
Coding interview
1 round, 45 minutes, with an engineer.
Done in an online collaborative editor CoderPad without auto-complete or test runner enabled. 2 data structures / algorithms problems (LeetCode easy–medium, occasionally touching medium–hard).
system design
behavioral
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given an integer array nums and an integer k.
Return the length of the longest subarray whose elements sum to exactly k.
The subarray must be contiguous.
nums may contain positive, negative, and zero values.
If no such subarray exists, return 0.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
3 interviews, each with a software engineer asking me to implement functions in python. Like implement a convolutional layer. The questions were not difficult; there were some trick questions in terms of knowing you can find the median in O(n) with quick select, as opposed to O(n*log(n)) with sort and grab the middle element.

Interview
Typical 2-3 leetcode questions to complete in 45 minutes with edge cases and working code. Its based on luck if you get what you already prepared. Just go through top fb questions and hope that they ask you from that list
