I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I submitted my resume on my college's career development website in January. I got an email from Facebook saying that they wanted to interview me about a month after I sent them my resume. They scheduled one 45-minute interview for me, during which I had to solve 2 different programming problems. When I passed the first interview round, they scheduled a very similar 45-minute interview within the same week. The whole interview process took only 2 weeks, and they called me about the offer in 2 business days. This was definitely the most efficient hiring process I've ever been a part of.

The interview process was straightforward and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter or screening conversation about my background, research experience, technical skills, and interest in the role. The interviewer also asked behavioral questions about past projects, teamwork, and how I handled technical challenges. Overall, the process felt clear and professional.

They ask the normal standard DSA questions that you would expect for an internship like LeetCode mediums. I think there were two rounds of technical interviews before the offer stage.
