I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Phone Interview with HR, Phone Internet with Hiring Manager, In-person Interview with 4 departmental employees, 30 minutes in segments. Overall questions/process was fair, but was not personally very impressed with attitude of (individual) hiring manager. Employees appeared stressed and overworked.

general leetcode questions easy to mediumb2 questions per round
The technical round kicked off with a system design question about creating an Instagram-style social feed. It felt manageable, with a clear flow to my ideas. After that, I faced a maze-solving question that tested my problem-solving skills. What helped me prepare were the system design resources on prachub.com; I had really focused on those, and it felt relevant. Overall, the process was straightforward, but I didn't receive an offer, which was disappointing.
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
