I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Apr 2019
Interview
1) HR Phone Screen
2) First Round - 1 execution, 1 product sense (45 minutes each)
3) Onsite - 6 interviews (mix of product sense, execution + behavioral) => 45-60 minutes each
Each interview except the behavorial one focused on a single product question, pretty standard. Make sure you pay attention to structure. Use HR to get feedback on your first round, they can be helpful (mine was not but definitely try to get more information from them).

Question 1
general leetcode questions easy to mediumb2 questions per round
The technical round kicked off with a system design question about creating an Instagram-style social feed. It felt manageable, with a clear flow to my ideas. After that, I faced a maze-solving question that tested my problem-solving skills. What helped me prepare were the system design resources on prachub.com; I had really focused on those, and it felt relevant. Overall, the process was straightforward, but I didn't receive an offer, which was disappointing.
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
