I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Initial Chat - 3 basic JS questions ---> difference between == and === , difference between block and inline and I forgot the third
Calendar challenge (as the others have said there's a challenge). I too think this was the most difficult.
Then on-site. I heard a lot of good things about their interview process on-site, but I felt like mine wasn't that great. I had 3 interviews back-to-back without breaks. I didn't get a tour or a meal...
I also received no feedback, just that my whiteboard code wasn't clean (Um you should be quick, if you fail 1 interview you fail .. period). My recruiter was great. You can tell she tried. They called me a few days later telling me I didn't meet the requirements.
BIGGEST TIP: Go through all the questions on Glassdoor and CareerCup, code on paper not on your laptop! Trust your code will come out cleaner on a whiteboard this way.

Basic JavaScript async stuff (you should know event bubbling, debounce (its variant)... know how to code it). It would be a good idea to be aware of JS closure as well.

Very nice interviewer. Very casual. No BS intro and talking points. Actually, read the CV before the interview. The interview was as scheduled for 45 minutes. 2 questions, knowledge of javascript internals and DOM manipulation.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2022
Interview
I went through the phone screening process (three easy questions) and scheduled the following interview which never materialized (canceled due to too many
recruitment processes opened at the company, probably cost-cutting measures). That is understandable, but I have wasted some time on the preparation.

Question 1
- the difference between apply/call
- balanced BST complexity
