I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Ann Arbor, MI) in Sep 2013
Interview
The interview process was pretty standard for campus recruiting. I had a 30 minute interview with two whiteboard programming questions and some general questions. Interviewer was nice and the whole experience was pretty easy. I'm sure on-site interviews would be more intense, but I wasn't fortunate enough to move on to that.

Question 1
I was only asked two questions, one was to implement strstr() and the other was to write a function to check if a binary tree was valid
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.
