I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I only experienced the phone screening. Asked about SQL and a Open ended question. The SQL question is rather easy after I've done all the leetcode questions. The open ended question is about designing a new form of ads on instagram. Asking me what I would do to determine the number of ads to on one page. I finished this one rather quickly, and then was asked a hard behavioral question: what is your weaknesses.

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
