I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (State College, PA) in Sept 2017
Interview
I applied online and was contacted about an interview. I was emailed several questions after which I was setup with an engineer from Facebook to interview with. There were supposed to be 2 interviews, you would only get the second one if you did well on the first.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
