The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
I applied for another position two months prior to being contacted about another position the recruiter felt I was more suited. The phone interview was typical recruiter conversation (CV, languages, types of projects, why I wanted to work at Facebook). I was then asked to complete a code exercise in JS or PHP. It involved sorting and arranging overlapping events on a day calendar like iCal. While I easily complete the exercise and accommodated for all stated and unstated event scenarios, I was told that Facebook was no longer interested after reviewing my code. I was quite surprised and requested additional feedback, but they did not provide it. I gave them several hours of my time to complete their test. The least they could have done was give me 10 more minutes of theirs.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jan 2022
Interview
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
