Apply on university job fair. It took about one week to hear back from Facebook and schedule first phone interview. The whole process moves very quick.

Question 1
1. check whether a string is palindrome
2. reverse words in a string
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Whiteboard questions made overly complicated for the sake of being complicated versus accessing skills. The feedback I received was that the coding portion wasn't up to par, which tells me that had I been hired there my work would have been nit-picked to death, sabotaged, and argued with. No wonder Facebook products are what they are. I'm satisfied that the interview revealed the fit wasn't a good fit in both directions.
