I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
All the interview questions are technical and straight forward. There were 2 rounds, both on campus. Each took 30 minutes or so. The questions were not hard. They just wanted to see how you solved a problem. I got the offer 2 days after my 2nd round. Their recruiting process was really fast.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Generate a new array from an array of numbers. Start from the beginning. Put the number of some number first, and then that number.
For example, from array 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1
You should get 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1
Write a program to solve this problem.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was invited to take their OA about a week after applying, mostly consisted of leetcode easy and mediums. It was a pretty smooth process, with quick feedback. Good experience overall

Question 1
Data structures and algorithms, leetcode style medium and easy
They ask the normal standard DSA questions that you would expect for an internship like LeetCode mediums. I think there were two rounds of technical interviews before the offer stage.
DS&A questions, interview is just that with only a couple mins of non technical. Need to be quick and fluent in standard leetcode easy-med, and have decent enough grasp to come up with good ideas to approach leetcode hards.

Question 1
DS&A. Asked about how to merge 3 ordered array into ordered array. Then, how to generalise for k ordered arrays. Was okay, but need to be faster and have solution down as if you can do it in your sleep.
