I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview was a phone screen; the first 10-15 minutes asked me about my research, and then I had to code a palindrome detection algorithm. I answered the question eventually, but I had a couple of bugs while writing and this did not seem to please the interviewer, who wanted to ask follow-up questions.

Question 1
Palindrome detection with non-alphanumeric characters
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.
