I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in May 2015
Interview
After submitting my resume and answering a few questions on past projects, job preferences, etc. I had two Skype interviews on algorithmic questions. The problems posed were quite fair and had to be solved in a programming language of choice in an online editor. After that, I was invited to an on-site interview in London (expenses paid) with three more one on one interviews. Two of them were once more on coding, this time on a white board. The other one also had a small coding part but also included questions on previous projects, team behavior etc.
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.
