I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Urbana, IL) in Sep 2017
Interview
It was a extremely smooth process. I talked to the recruiter at the career fair, got an invite for an on-campus interview within a week.
Before interviewing, we had a social event where we got to learn more about the interview process and talk to software engineers. Then, I had two interviews within a week and got an offer the week after.
The interviews were pretty standard, white-board questions. It was in your best interest to answer both questions in the 45 minute alotted time. If you didn't make it to the second question because you spent all of your time on the first question, that was a good indicator that the interview didn't go that well.

Question 1
Questions about picking elements in sorted arrays, dynamic programming, graph traversals.
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
