I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
To begin the interview the interviewer told me what they do at Facebook and asked me to tell them about myself a little bit. I elaborated on a recent project I had been working on. Because of a shortage of time, no more personal questions were asked. Then we jumped straight into coding questions. At the very end I could ask about 7-10 minutes worth of questions about general Facebook information.

1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
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.
