I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Went to Menlo Park on their university day (super day), received only one 45-minute technical interview. The event took your entire day. There were about 40 undergrads coming from different colleges. They were all for the internship position. I solved the problem really quickly. But I cannot optimize my code as the interview expected. That was probably the reason I got rejected.

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.
