I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Jul 2022
Interview
I was contacted by recruiter in July. The process took 4-5 weeks. Initial round - recruiter will do the screen test asking about technical stuff. First round - 1 coding round, 2 questions - each 20 mins at most. Follow the guidelines shared by recruiter about the process. Exact same steps have to be followed with little flexibilty. The code should be efficient, tested and bug free. Second round - I prepared hard for second round which consists of 2 coding, 1 ML design and 1 behavioral but I started hiring freeze by all major Faang companies. My second round got cancelled and process ended there. Time is of essence. Do appear for rounds within given time.
Applied online. Received a recruiter screen within two weeks covering background and role fit. Followed by a technical phone screen with coding (LeetCode medium-hard, arrays/graphs). Then a virtual onsite with 4 rounds: 2 coding, 1 ML system design (recommendation/ranking system), and 1 behavioral. Interviewers were professional and gave time to ask questions. Results communicated within a week post-onsite.
First stage was a screen round with behavioral and 2 leetcodes, one medium one hard, 15-17 min each. If selected, loop is 4-6 interviews. 2 desgin, 2 coding, 1 behavioral.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
idiotic questions that can't be answered in depth in 35 minutes design, like "your solution isn't going to work, how will you handle it?" yea no sht this is a baseline bro, wait 15 seconds and ill talk about the optimal one.

Standard Meta process.

Interviews were all nice except for behavioral. (wouldn't hurt to speak anything apart from okay-okay)
