Entrevista
contacted thru linkedn , if I was interested in facebook. Pondered whether to give a try or not . As my impression was facebook being php shop and me being a scala developer it would not match my skillset(Not interested in going back to dreaded c++ either). Meandered and then agreed for phone interview.
I have pretty good exp (10+) most of these interviews are not cakewalks but not hard either. Only concern being absolutely neat monkey coding text book soln in 30-40mins. Most of the interviewers are nit picky and want perfect code. So you have 10 mins to think and 30 mins to code in a collabedit. Unless you are able to monkey code the soln while talking to interviewer , just simply avoid its nothing but sheer nonsense. But if you want to practice then ;-)

The interview called up 30 minutes late and rushed thru.
Given a string break it up into meaningful sentence "thesystemisrunning" => the system is running
Got a call saying they need to take another interview, was nearly about to say thanks but no thanks but ended up taking it just for practice.

Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.

System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
