I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
There is a ton of info online about what they are looking for and it's almost formulaic. I practiced a ton and studied a ton and did mock interviews with friends who said I was "there" and that it was just going to come down to luck of the draw on whether or not the interviewers liked me.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
There are usually two rounds.
The first round includes two interviews: product sense and execution. PS is all about developing a new product. Execution is about metrics. second round includes mainly behavioral , leadership and management-related questions.
On the one hand, it was an process with long wait times. But that said, it was smooth.
The technical interviews deep dive into my technical skills and understanding of Meta's products. This involved discussing past projects and how I would approach certain product challenges at Meta.
During the behavioural interviews, I got questions revolved around teamwork, leadership, and handling work-related challenges.
