I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Sept 2018
Interview
A quite positive experience overall.
3 stages:
1. Screening call with a tech/design recruiter
2. Two online interviews (one past-work presentation, one mobile app critique)
3. On-site, "all-day" interview: (past-work presentation, background interview with the hiring manager, problem-solving exercise with a designer, mobile app critique with a designer)
The recruiters where very kind and helpful, providing timely updates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Screening call: Do you use data? (Examples are expected)
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
Typical interview process consisting of multiple rounds—Pre-screen, Portfolio Presentation, Full-Loop (Presentation, App Crit, Whiteboard Challenge and Behavioral) - Felt I did really well, and I got great feedback during the rounds but ultimately received no offer.
