I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2017
Interview
I got one phone interview. The interviewer was very nice and helpful, a bit of an accent, but understandable. The algorithms problem was not very difficult, but I spent too much time on it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the dot product of two arrays knowing that >80% of the values are 0's (needs to be faster than one for loop O(n)).
no referral, directly applied online.

2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round

I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

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
