I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in June 2022
Interview
The process is well structured. Candidates are given example sessions to help then prepare for 2 initial interviews followed by a third if you get past the first gate. The issue is that because its a big company, the time between the 2 interviews for me was a few months. Considering the amount of prep work and pre interview workshops you have to attend, not getting any feedback regarding the considerable effort you have to put in for this process makes it time consuming and you won't be able to learn where you can improve for other interviews. Ultimately it was for the best, Meta announced huge layoffs following the process and joining the company during that time would have been a disaster.

Interview process was fairly straightforward. Recruiters are super helpful in getting you prepared for whats to come. Interviews got scheduled fairly fast, so having the momentum is great. Each interview only lasted about 30 minutes. from start to finish it took about 1 month
