I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Dec 2015
Interview
Applied online, contacted by recruiter in ~2 weeks. Had a phone interview. The interviewer did not say much, and when I had asked if I was going in the right direction, he said things along the lines of, whatever you think is right, which was not helpful at all. The question itself was moderately difficult, and would be really hard to solve without a bit of help, in my opinion, and the interviewer didn't seem to care much. He was pretty quiet the entire time, which made me nervous, but I suppose that is my own fault too. Overall, the phone round was pretty tough, and I would say to know your way around arrays and sorting very well.
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.
