I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2015
Interview
I had applied online for a summer internship. Recruiter reached out to me and scheduled phone interview. I got through first round phone interview. Second round was also phone interview. It went pretty well but I did not get an offer. Interviewers asked some basic questions about my background, projects etc. Then they spoke a bit about their background. Interviewers are friendly and helpful.

Question 1
Given an array of integers, find three integers a, b and c such that a+b+c=0.
Modification: If the array is given in sorted order, can you do it without O(n) space?
Given a large input string, write a function to check if it is a palindrome, according to the following restrictions:
-lowercase and uppercase characters are considered equal
-special characters are ignored
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
