I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Raleigh, NC) in Dec 2016
Interview
The interview was conducted via skype. It was brief and interesting. Interviewer was from Internet.org. He gave an introduction about himself and then asked about me. The interview was 45 minutes long. Interviewer was friendly but particular about time.

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.
