I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2017
Interview
The process is quiet long. First I apply online, a few weeks later I received an email from HR saying that my profile match an open position. This was for Production Engineer position. I was asked to answer some basic questions about me.
After that, I did a online test on networks, linux OS, etc... I would say that this are basic questions, but some of them are not so easy. 18 questions => 20 minutes.
The first interview was a phone interview with a HR (very kind). This was just to confirm some part of my CV and speak a little about me. Honestly, the interviewer spoke more than me and presented me the next two steps.
The second interview was more tricky. This was a technical interview. I was coding on a web editor while the interviewer was looking at my code. The interviewer was sympathetic, but I was not enough prepared and I failed at this step.
The last interview (that I didn't do) would had been on the linux operating system.
