Interview
I applied online, and a recruiter contacted me and set up a screen interview.
The interviewer called me via skype, and started the screen interview on codePad. We discussed the Longest Increasing Subsequence, with different constraints. Then the last five mins we talked about the working environment at Facebook. The overall interview is pleasant.
