I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Referred by one friend, and response in 3 days. First round is phone interview with online code judge process, second round is on site for 4 rounds interview. The HR are so nice and the phone there are mostly busy with their work, they do not seem to have lots of time for the interview. The quicker you finish, the more question you answer, would be the way that they prefer. One of the interviewer asked me a lot things related with my previous project, but I do not think it is related.

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.
