I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in May 2012
Interview
The phone interview worked very well. The interviewer asked some experience questions and went into the coding. It was not too difficult and I did it very well. Then after ten days, I was invited to the on-site. There were four engineers. One asked design questions and the others asked coding questions. I was nervous and didn't sleep well at all the night before, so I was in bad shape. It's a pity that I lost this chance.

1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
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.
