I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2015
Interview
The interview lasts 60 mins. First he introduced where he was working at and then ask for more details about my projects on my resume. Then he posted a technical question. I first discussed the solution to him and wrote it in C++. After all, I asked some questions like the daily responsibilities on that position.

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.
