I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Dec 2021
Interview
The first stage was a one-to-one with a content designer already working there. A simple but brilliant way of finding out what it's like to work there from someone who already does. And, of course, a screening process by someone who knows the job well and exactly what skills/experience/personality are needed.

Question 1
I had to show them a portfolio, and they asked me a question about one aspect of the design (unfortunately, the one bit I had no control over).
Long and painful on purpose. Expect long interviews, including skill tests, back to back. They won’t accommodate for your time zone. Lots of recruiter coaching, way more than typical. Expect at least six or seven touchpoints in all.
I had 2 interviews before they decided to stop with the process. It was very standard. Nowadays for a design job you have a lot of interviews and it's a very long process.
