The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2009
Interview
Did a phone screen on Friday to discuss with Facebook was working on and what I wanted to work on. This moved to Onsite technical interview on following Tuesday, they moved quickly because of another pending offer with another company. Did well, Then moved to meet with more members of the team on Thursday, moved to offer on Friday and then accepted within 1 day.
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.
