I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in May 2022
Interview
This was a 3 stage process.
First stage is just you and a Meta recruiter - asking the traditional Background type questions.
Stage two is you presenting your work and an app critique.
Stage 3 is 4- 5 hours with work presentation, app critique, white boarding task, and Background interview

Question 1
Based on the project you presented how was it working with other departments?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (Londres, Inglaterra) in Apr 2022
Interview
Had a call with a recruiter was ghosted for over a week. When I followed up on my email was told that she was an annual leave. The morning she came back to me, gave me a very brief reason that they don't want to continue at this time.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
This is regarding the two times I interviewed with Meta.
First, I made it all the way to the final round and they ghosted me. I had to reach out to another recruiter to finally get a boilerplate rejection many months later.

The second time and a few years later, the recruiter reached out to me multiple times for an interview. During our phone screen, they were late to the call and sped through it. The prep Q&A zoom I scheduled didn't happen, even though I moved around my calendar to attend.
During the initial interviews with the app critique and past work rounds, the first interviewer was more than ten minutes late and didn't allow me to choose an app I used often (which was an option I had the first time I interviewed). The next interviewer seemed to not be paying attention.
Spent 20+ hours preparing and crafting my deck. Next day, received a boilerplate rejection stating that they didn't have any feedback available for me.
All in all, felt that I was just a DEI number to put under the recruiter's belt.
