I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Initial screening over Skype (5 multiple choice questions) by recruitment officer.
Two Skype interviews writing code in Coderpad.
Onsite interview constisted of four more sessions, mostly of them writing code on a whiteboard, one "culture fit" and one design interview.
Everyone was friendly and knowledgable, the entire process was stress free and actually a bit of fun.
I wrote a LOT of code during these interviews, doing two or three exercises per interview. If I had to do it over I would code more slowly so as to avoid having to do so many.

Given nested arrays, write an enumerator class such that next() returns the elements in sequential order, e.g.:

also implement allObjects for this class
Pretty standard interview process for FAANG/MANGA companies. Initial call with a recruiter, preliminary coding interview, on-site that spanned two days (because I asked) and a follow-up interview. The on-site interview consisted of 3 coding interviews, 1 behavioral, and 1 system design interview.
