I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2022
Interview
First, multiple calls with recruiters. Then, two rounds of coding interview as the first round. Finally, four rounds of coding, system design and ML design as the final round. Overal, a normal interview process and recuriters had been quite helpful along the way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Desigining Scalabale Machine Learning based solution for a regualr usecase
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.

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.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
Standard Meta process.
1. Recruiter Call
2. Screening Call
3. Onsite Calls -4 rounds (2 coding, 1 ML design, 1 behavioral)
Interviews were all nice except for behavioral. (wouldn't hurt to speak anything apart from okay-okay)
