I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I got two phone screens. Then Facebook flew me in from Europe for onsite interviews: 1 design interview, 1 "culture fit" interview, and 4 coding/datastructures. I did well to pretty much of all them except one coding. After about two weeks, the recruiter contacted me to tell me that they weren't able to take a decision, so I got an extra phone interview with a "very senior" guy a few days afterwards.
It was an enjoyable experience for most of it. The most important problem was one interviewer who was obviously not ready to give interviews: he was totally unable to explain the problem I was supposed to solve and was interrupting me every minute.

Question 1
write a program that solves linear equations with - + and * operators given as strings. For example the input can be: "8+5+x+3*x = 10-x+4*3*x"

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given an integer array nums and an integer k.
Return the length of the longest subarray whose elements sum to exactly k.
The subarray must be contiguous.
nums may contain positive, negative, and zero values.
If no such subarray exists, return 0.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
3 interviews, each with a software engineer asking me to implement functions in python. Like implement a convolutional layer. The questions were not difficult; there were some trick questions in terms of knowing you can find the median in O(n) with quick select, as opposed to O(n*log(n)) with sort and grab the middle element.

Interview
Typical 2-3 leetcode questions to complete in 45 minutes with edge cases and working code. Its based on luck if you get what you already prepared. Just go through top fb questions and hope that they ask you from that list
