I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2012
Interview
Hey
I got contact with a recruiter, then we talked about 30 minutes. One week after I had one phone interview. He asked me two coding questions and he also wanted me to prove mathematically why my solution is right. I did the coding problems and I prove what he wanted.
After a week, they invite me for onsite interview. There were 4 interview. The first was more about my research and only one coding question. The last one was high level design question and the other two were just coding.
I did pretty good, and I just made one silly mistake for implementing one problem. I figured it out after 10 min, but I had the feeling that the interviewer does not like it. That was the coding question at the end of the first interview. I think that killed me and I didn't get any offer.
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.

Question 1
Move zeroes in an array to the end while keeping non-zero element order, in place
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.

It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
