I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2022
Interview
5 rounds: behavioral, 2 coding, ML design, System design. Nothing surprising, everything matched the prep material sent out by the recruiter. Coding rounds were quite easy and 100% from leetcode, others weren't hard but took some guessing as to what the interviewer wanted to hear.

Question 1
4 Leetcode mediums, standard system design question (in prep material), designing a community safety feature for ML design
Made it through to virtual onsite. Interviewers in the coding and behavioral rounds were very friendly and personable. However, the interviewer in the Systems Design round was very aloof and uninterested from the beginning.
Difficulty is what you'd expect from FAANG.
