I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2011
Interview
I had an on campus interview with a current software engineer. He first asked me to talk about some of the contents of my resume, and then asked me to elaborate on a recent project I worked on that I liked. He then asked me a few coding questions. Both went off of the same principle of trying to implement a method to process a certain type of regular expression. I coded on a whiteboard, and my interviewer gave feedback as I went along. At the end, he asked how I might optimize the method I wrote.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you implement a method to tell whether or not a string matches a regex that consists of lower case letters and *s.
2 Rounds of standard leetcode questions and one behavioral round. Typical Meta questions were used and the last round had 2 coding questions followed by some behavioral and standard interview question time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
It was two coding challenges with an engineer. The interview was rescheduled a few times. The interviewer was nice and gave some clues to tackle the problem. After that there would be a cultural fit interview.

Question 1
First problem was a string problem and second involved using segtree to calculate points in a matrix.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2021
Interview
Got a Leetcode easy question about string manipulation, and then a medium sliding window question. I couldn't solve the second question even though the interviewer gave me hints, but I didn't have much time to prepare for the interview. He asked me to talk about big O complexity and write test cases at the end.
