I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Applied online after talking to a recruiter at a career fair, had an interview on campus and went to final round interviews during their "University Day." The process was fairly quick and the recruiters really make you feel welcome during your tour of facebook. There was a presentation about what an internship at facebook was like and lunch from their cafeteria. Each person gets their own individual interviewer and was taken to one of the many rooms in the building for their interview. There are 2 interviews total before you are given a decision.
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.
