I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in June 2018
Interview
Internal recruiter reached out and scheduled phone interview. The phone interview was mainly behavioral. After the phone interview, scheduled a video interview. Video interview was more technical and used a screen share to demonstrate coding ability.

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
