I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was referred by a friend.
Whole process took a week in a half - due to a pending deadline on my part.
I had a phone interview and was then invited onsite at the end of the week. The onsite interview was composed of 3 interviews. They were typical questions of any other technical interview questions - although slightly more tree-heavy than other companies.
On Monday I was contacted asking to provide references. I thought I had it in the bag because of this but Tuesday evening I was rejected.
I know that they were strong and wouldn't cause my rejection. So I guess references are asked for before the onsite interviews are processed?

Question 1
I signed an NDA so won't disclose the exact questions - but I'd practice up on tree traversals before interviewing
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.
