I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2022
Interview
First there was a standard call with recruiter, who managed to convince me to get into the process. Then they had some kind of hiring freeze for two months or so, and after this period they returned to hiring, so Screening Interview was scheduled. Finally I declined, as I've got more interesting offer and I didn't find Eng Manager role @Meta being really interesting for me.
The worst thing was that despite of myself asking for a feedback from the interview, I didn't receive anything constructive, which was unprofessional in my opinion.
Looking at the above and overall situation at Meta, I feel like the company is not a good place to be these days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard Career related questions, e.g. examples of conflict solving situations, how did you help given person to grow etc.
Recruiter call - fairly easy to arrange. It followed by a self service careers portal invite to arrange round-1 which had 2 interviews. One system design and one behavioural. Easy to arrange except for few niggles in the portal login. Then I was ghosted by the recruiter”s”.
Went through Behavioral and System Design after recruiter call .It was not difficult but it didn't go through so guess i have to prepare more.Asked about typical Engineering management questions

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was contacted by a Meta recruiter by email. I then scheduled a call through the system instructed by the email. The recruiter called on the the day but 10 minute after the scheduled time. That's a quick call, and I was asked whether I would apply for position in infrastructure domain or product domain, I said 'product'. Then I was set up for a virtual interview with a Meta manager. At the beginning of the interview, I was asked whether I am OK to have someone else watch the interview, I said 'yes'. The interview was not hard, but unfortunately I didn't perform well.
