I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
On a Friday afternoon, the recruiter and I discuss my background, the interview process at Meta, etc. Oddly, she mentions she is working on Monday, and will send my resume to some engineering managers in the morning, and send me a link to Meta's career portal by EOD. I wake up on Monday to find a generic rejection from her on Linkedin at 7AM. No problem, I thought. I sent her a thank you message only to be given an automatic response of being on maternity leave. Not cool Meta. Not cool.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background, day to day responsibilities, current level, work from office, etc.
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
