I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Technical interview conducted over phone and coderpad.io
They didn't require the code written to compile, instead they just wanted me to convince them that my solution worked.
The entire process took about an hour: 15 minutes discussing resume, 30 minutes for the question, and 15 minutes for any questions you may have for the recruiter.

Question 1
Given a set of random strings, write a function that returns a set that groups all the anagrams together. Ex: star, dog, car, rats, arc -> (star, rats), (arc, car), dog
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.
