I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
The interview process was good and smooth. I had 2 phone interviews. The Facebook office is really mind blowing. My interviewers were really nice. 5 onsite interviews - 2 system design and 2 coding and 1 behavioral interview with a small programming question. I think my system design was not as good as the coding ones but despite that I think because of my overall performance I got the offer.

Question 1
Practice questions on leetcode. They pay a lot of attention to coming up with optimal answers. I had questions on data structures, algorithms and dynamic programming.
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.
