I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2017
Interview
I applied at our career fair and received an email from the recruiter 2-3 weeks after. They asked for my availability over the next two weeks and we scheduled the phone interview shortly after. Had I taken an algorithms course (currently taking) before the interview, it would have been much easier.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given two integers A and B. Using +, -, or no operator, find how many combinations of A result in B.
Say A is 12345 and B is 168: 123+45 = 168, so that counts as a solution, but 123-45 does not.
no referral, directly applied online.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
