I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2017
Interview
Was called about 3 minutes late. Interviewer was nearly unintelligible, and I knew regardless of the outcome that this was going to be a less than ideal interview setting. I'd like to add my own input here after researching the question: the solution I found was working and optimal, though it took me roughly 20 minutes to solve the problem since 5-6 were spent trying to understand what type of English was being spoken through the phone. The question was fair but difficult, and I missed a few boundary cases to be sure. In retrospect and for all those who may think of applying: bring your perfectionist game because mistakes and misinterpretations will not be tolerated no matter who's fault it is. In this sense, I don't believe this company was a right fit for me.

Interview
I had two rounds of interviews, both were technical. They did not ask behavioural questions (i.e. relating to my resume). It was your typical whiteboarding coding question where they evaluated you as you wrote code onto a whiteboard.
