I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2018
Interview
Contacted by recruiter via LinkedIn, then completed two technical phone interviews each 45 minutes long. Both interviewers were not entirely personable nor interactive. I was generally unimpressed by the nature of my interviews.
My recruiter was especially helpful, however, and the process was professional and clear. The entire process took around 4 weeks from initial recruitment to rejection. I moved past the first technical, then was rejected after the second call.

I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
