I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
It was a 45-min technical interview. The interviewee was navigating me to give him the answer he was looking for. I answered the questions on a white board. I was asked statistics questions but with a Facebook product story behind it. I was asked to write a script that reads a file and then stores project names and people who are assigned to it.

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
