I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
They called me and ask if I would like to be interviewed to facebook. I agreed.
* The first step was a few simple questions by phone (just to see very basic knowledge).
* The next step was 2 code questions with a developer from California, he called me and gave 2 code questions, I wrote my answer on my mac an app called coderpad (he was able to everything I do on screen).
* The next step was conversational interview face to face on their offices. The interviewer was a developer (some backend team leader) and not HR guy. He asked me about my experience and my development approaches. At the end he gave me code exercise which I believe went well. During the interview it was seemed that everything was fine, I got the impression that I passed it but after 5 days they called me and said that I didn't pass that interview. I asked to know why but they didn't know to tell.
I got the impression that there was something I said that didn't match to that developer worldview.
The whole process was very nice, everyone was so kind but most of the time it felt like they are "over-nice" and it felt fake.
They really disappoint me when they didn't told me why I didn't pass.
On the other side they was very professional.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
Spoke with interviewer over video conferencing. He was very communicative . He answered my questions. Asked me BFS question. A question that involved BFS search. Given a matrix, I am suppose to find a path from top left to down right.
