I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
It was very quick and was flown out within a week for final interviews. The process was efficient and the people that I met were very nice. The only lag was in the follow-up time, but given that it was around the holidays it was understandable.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
It was a long process, but it was due to the nature of the role - other than length, everything else was wonderful!
Back in April, a recruiter reached out to me. I wasn't ready to interview at the time but we agreed to stay in touch, and when I became interested I let her know that I was available. As it happened, several roles were opening up, so I met with a couple of folks off site before coming in for two rounds of onsite interviews.
Every interviewer was prepared, friendly, and whip-smart. The recruiting team was efficient and responsive.
