I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
The whole process went by incredibly quickly. After applying directly to a recruiter, I completed a coding challenge through HackerRank as part of the screening process. I then received a call from the recruiter to walk me through the interview steps, which was a very kind gesture to make towards an intern.
After that, there were two phone interviews, each just a week apart. Both went rather smoothly, but I was rejected by email just hours after the second interview. While no feedback was provided, and although I thought the technical portion of the interviews went well, I have a hunch that they were looking for someone with more university and extracurricular project experience, something which I lacked.

Question 1
There were some simple questions on array sorting, integer to string parsing, and a question on merging intervals that I got in another interview with another firm.
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.

It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
