I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2024

Consists of 3 rounds, 2 technical interviews, 1 behavior interview.
Technical interview only includes 2 leetcode questions each. Behavior interview dived deep into my resume. Got an code-reviewing question in one of the technical interviews.
