I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Sourced through a friend who works there, really good communication and speed.
I totally bombed an initial on-site but then was able to get another one. Studied up for it, did a lot better and then went on-site for a full day.
Got to meet a lot of awesome engineers, guess I did okay since I got an offer and it was the best day of my life!

Question 1
A lot of array questions! Also dynamic programming!
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.
