I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jan 2016
Interview
After passing the phone interview (easy questions with the + and *), i was invited to the on-site interviews. one non tech and two tech. the non tech also had a technical question, not an easy one. two more technical interviews followed. not too difficult questions, yet complicated and if you're off by a bit they will probably not let you pass. i gave good solutions to all questions yet it took me a bit of extra time and some confusion in between, and they did not accept me.
I recommend everyone that prepares to just go over all questions, you can be getting the easy ones and fail them because you practiced too hard on the difficult ones. true story.

Question 1
-Meetings, start and end given for each, calculate minimum number of rooms needed
-VIP question (need to find person who is known to all but knows no one)
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.

There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.

Question 1
Design Twitter and consider if it was suddenly an extremely low latency env
Grateful doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about landing this role. The interview loop was smooth and friendly. They kicked things off with a technical round where I faced a DSA question about verifying an alien dictionary. Lucky for me, the time I'd spent on PracHub paid off, as it had the same type of problem just days before. After that, I had a system design discussion and a behavioral interview. Everything felt very collaborative, and by the end, I received an offer that I was thrilled to accept.

Question 1
Given a list of words written in an alien language and the order of letters in that language's alphabet, determine whether the words are sorted lexicographically (Verifying an Alien Dictionary). Walk through the comparison approach using a character-to-index map, the O(C) time complexity where C is total characters, and how you'd extend it to handle words with mixed-case letters or words containing characters outside the given alphabet.
