I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
It was tough. Was asked to solve 2 hard questions in less than 40 minutes. The interviewer was kind and helped me in the process. As I began to dissect the problem, it became apparent that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park. The tough interviewer wasn't content with surface-level solutions; they wanted to see how deep my understanding of algorithms and data structures went. We spoke about my previous work experience.
Tech screening, 2 coding interview, system design and behaviour round. Sys design round - build messaging service. Behavioural round - Tell me about the project you are proud of. Was downlevled to E4. Did not accept the offer.

First was a recruiter call and then 5 rounds of interviews with technical and also system design and then the team fit rounds which could both be in person or online as I choose.
Three were Coding rounds and one behavioral round. No HM interview for New grads. Interview completed on 2nd Dec 2024 and got the offer May 2025. Interviewers were nice but need to have a good pace to give working solutions for 2 LC questions
