I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
I got the interview directly by reaching out to the recruiter. The interview process was of 2 round. Both the rounds contained of 2 coding questions. And then Q and A.

Question 1
Q. I don’t exactly remember the coding challenge question. But they were based on strings and array and were medium level difficulty
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.
