I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Tedious and demanding. Requiring to rework your portfolio's case studies into a presentation format with their specific requirements is quite exhausting and time consuming. However everyone involved was very nice, professional and with a seemed like a genuine intent for the candidate to have a good interview experience. That's rare. The process was incredibly organized and timely.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I have been approached by FB recruitment 4x and once by Instagram. I have interviewed for all 5 roles, consisting of between 5-7 interviews after recruitment screener call. I found most of my interviewers had not read my cv and the culture seemed more like a popularity contest rife with unconscious bias.

Some competency questions, some situational questions... I got the general sense I had more experience than some of my interviewers and they were ticking a diversity box by bringing me in.
