I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Phone interview with the HR about background and expectations on the job. Called in for on-site interview. 1 hour talk on my research topic and 5 back to back interview, lunch with a few team members. Overall experience was positive, some interviewers were more arrogant than others (a Facebook AI guy who dialed in, he was unprepared and asked me questions about my talk which didn't make much sense (probably didn't listen to my talk). One interviewer was a core developer (20 something young folk) asked me a coding question trying to make the question harder than it was. Changed the question in the mid-way which made it harder to finish. Behavioral questions followed a simple coding question (which later i found out that the question was wrongly stated).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
find the shortest substring in a very long string containing all the letters of the given word. find the next node in a binary search tree. find the peak and/or valley in a given array of integers, deep learning questions, some machine learning, NLP questions, questions about research topic.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
7 Interviews, didn't receive an offer after the final round. Time-consuming process, which includes multiple rounds of technical interviews (design, coding, behavior, etc.) and a 1-hour research talk. The team leader was unpleasant to interact with.
recruiter call, technical interview, research interview, and job talk (presentation), hiring manager interview, everything was organized in the website so it was easy to navigate through the process, and recruiter was always responding super quickly
