I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Very technical questions. Be sure to review your data structures, sorting algorithms, and syntax without a reference. They don't care much about syntax, but it might trip you up during whiteboarding. They were extremely friendly, put you up in a hotel and take good care of you during the interview. I think there were many opportunities to ask questions and learn more about the specific problems they're trying to solve.
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.
