I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jul 2012
Interview
Applied their careers page, got a response within 3 days. I was asked some Qs about my education and work-ex, then was asked to fill up a questionnaire,was given a choice of Phone interview or on campus, I scheduled on campus, cleared that than had a full day, interview.
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.
