I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied for and android position. The overall process was really quick, 1 month aprox. The recruiter touched base over Linkedin and after a week I had the phone interview. Here I was asked a medium difficulty coding question (See bellow). After a week I was told they wanted to take me into On-Site interviews. Over there, in San Francisco, I was received by the recruiter and he took me to the interview room. I had 4 interviews, 3 coding + 1 system design. After a week they told me I wasnt selected. Honestly, I dont know what they focus on when interviewing, cause I got the solution for all the coding questions, just struggled a little bit in the design one, and nevertheless, I didnt get an offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
It's a large company, but interviewing was definitely a more robotic process. The technical interviewer seemed checked out and didn't explain interview process well. At the end of the interview the interviewer only talked about himself, so I figured I wasn't in the running anymore.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview was okay and I solved two questions but didn’t pass the first round, hard to tell and didn’t get the feedback why I was failed. Probably they don’t have headcount?
