I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2015
Interview
submit my resume through internal referal. Got contacted by someone a new established department in Facebook. He give me a 10 minute quick chat about this newly established department, and set up a first round interview a week after that. I did bad in that interview. Although it's a very common data structure/ algorithm problem
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.
