I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Interview process moved quickly - the interview was a few days after they contacted me. They held an interview social on the evening before, so we were able to meet our interviewers and ask questions in a more casual setting. The actual interview was spent briefly going over my resume, then most of the time was spent on the coding questions.

Question 1
Q: Given a list of chars, return the 2nd most frequently occurring char.
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.
