I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was interviewed by a specific team because I was in the interview process for a specialist. This may not be the most common case.
During the onsite interviews:
I gave a tech talk and had one coding interview, two system design interviews in my domain, and one behavioral + coding interview.
I also had lunch together with the hiring manager and a team member.
Interview questions [1]

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2024
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me. I had one screening interview that went well. After the interview, recruiter asked me to fill out a form about my immigration status (I was on a student visa with 2+ years of work authorization after my graduation). After that they asked me to fill out an additional questionnaire tailored for O-1 visa. All this legal back and forth took approximately a week. After that I got rejected without any explanation of the reasons.
