I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
First had a behavioral phone screen and then a technical phone screen. The process was very organized and efficient, and the recruiters were all very friendly and professional. The technical interview as 45 minutes and was not a particularly difficult question. However, the interviewer was not very good at making it a collaborative process or helping out if I was ever stuck.

Question 1
Given a list of commits and a function to evaluate if a commit broke the build, find the first one that broke the build.
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.
