I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2017
Interview
Got a referral and received an email few days later about moving forward. However, the process took around a month because my recruiter left his job. The transition was not smooth and I followed up many times until someone helped me. It was a month and half since I got the first email when I interviewed. The experience wasn't great. The problem I got was really easy and I solved it pretty quickly with no bug. My solution was optimal and the interviewer told me it works and he is happy with it, but I still got rejected after a few days

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.
