I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
I had a technical phone interview where I shared a little about myself with the interviewer from California. Then we did one interview question, which I coded on an online notepad and talked it over on the phone. Then I asked 2 questions and awaited for the result. It was a good experience even though I did not get an offer.

Question 1
You are given a large set of github commits. Write code to find the first instance of a github commit error given the function that can check for github errors is provided.
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.
