Process
A 45-minute phone interview, as expected.
They asked several questions about my background, including talking about myself, my projects, and my interests.
Then, we moved on to the coding interview on Collabedit. The questions were the simple 3Sum and pow().
At the end, they asked if I had any questions about Facebook.
