I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2018
Interview
I applied through an on campus recruiter and was contacted shortly after for a phone interview. The phone interview lasted for 45minutes. The interviewer was generally unattentive and was unable to explain the requirements for the algorithm i was provided.
