I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Boston, MA) in Sep 2020
Interview
3 rounds. Call (hr) then 2 technical rounds. The call was pretty simple, just your regular get to know the candidate type. The recruiter was really nice and encouraging. The technical interviewers were more design oriented than I expected. Combinatorial mathematical came in handy

I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
