I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I got an email from a recruiter from Facebook if I was interested in the interview process. I didn't qualify for the on-site interview, but I did clear first screening and one phone interview on networking.
I struggled during the scripting interview as I had never done the scripting before on share screen. I would advise practicing that before the interview.
