Process
I applied through the Facebook careers website. The process took about two weeks and consisted of a questionnaire, a phone call with the recruiter, and a 45-minute interview by phone (phone screen).
All the process took place mostly by email.
In addition, a couple of days before the interview, the recruiter invited me to an online video session with other applicants.
Questions
Given a string of digits, where every digit represents a letter (1 -> a, 2 -> b, ..., 26 -> z).
Find the number of words that can be generated from that string.
For example: 123 -> abc, lc, aw. The answer: 3 456 -> def. The answer: 1

Meta Work Experiences
- 4.0Transparent But Buggy InfrastructureSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesFebruary 9, 2021Pros: "Openness", which means you can see and submit diffs on almost everyone's code, and you can see the direction and accomplishments of other teams.Cons: "Move fast and break things" applies to internal tools and infrastructure. Things broke often enough that I remember it as an annoyance.
- 4.0Ample benefits with hacky leadershipSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNovember 2, 2023Pros: If benefits help you enjoy and appreciate a workplace more, then Meta has plenty to offer, including a dessert cafe and random swag events.Cons: It feels like work-life balance is nonexistent in return for the benefits.
- 5.0Amazing! I can't imagine working for another company nowSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesMay 4, 2018Pros: - Perks: Life@FB helps manage every aspect of your work life during the day, from providing three meals a day to unlimited visitor invites, helping with laundry, bike repair, hairdresser, and more. - Initiative-driven culture: Nobody tells you what to do; you figure out how you can be most effective and run with that. - Strong engineering-centric culture. - Mark and Sheryl are amazing.Cons: The environment is hyper-competitive because everybody is really good and motivated. There is no room for the slightest slack. A lot of employees seem to be taking the perks and culture for granted, which is not a good trend.
