I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Was called onsite directly as I was local to Cambridge, MA.
A Sr. Engineer interviewed. He was welcoming and willing to help.
It was a typical white board coding interview.
Very professional and very helpful.
Recruiter called and asked me to come onsite as the position was local.
They gave responses very quick.
I said to my interviewer that I am not interested in web development but interested in back end (may be its a mistake, as its facebook).

Question 1
Find the indices of max. value in a large array and return them.
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.
