I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta (Ban Phone Savang) in Nov 2015
Interview
I received an email about scheduling a 45 min interview. This was my first so I was not ready. You don't go through HR screening, but your first interview is right off the bat technical. I was given one question to solve via an online code editor that could be run, it had some faulty issues that wasted time and made me more nervous. I couldn't solve the question before time was up and wasn't offered a second interview. Interviewer was very nice though.

Question 1
Given string of a bit number, convert to int number and back.
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.
