I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Emailed recruiter who's email I had from last year's internship interview. Probably due to large amount of applicants, they kept losing my information and taking a very long time to get back to me. Took around 3 weeks to schedule a first-round phone interview.
After passing, I told them I had a deadline within a week - they were able to schedule an onsite that was 3 days later, and I received an offer 2 days after my onsite. Initial phone screen scheduling was frustrating, but they more than made up for it by getting back to me so quickly after the interview and working with my timeline.
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.
