I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA)
Interview
I had an initial (easier) coding interview. Then, at the virtual "on-site", I had 2 coding interviews with 2 problems each, 1 system design and 1 behavioral. Nothing too hard. I solved the coding questions optimallly and I think I did mostly ok with the design and behavioral ones. No offer.

Coding interviews were common Leetcode mediums. The behavioral also had some very common questions for this type of interview. System Design was about designing a geolocation service.
