it was straight forward and not that hard, but for some reason, even though I ANSWERED EVERYTHING CORRECTLY, I STILL GOT REJECTED and I have no idea why.
I wish someone gave me a feedback
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
The process consisted of multiple stages that took several months. First was a phone call with their in-house recruiter. Next was an optional practice interview (which was just like a regular screening interview). Next was the actual screening interview. If you pass the screening interview, you get moved on to the full-loop interview process. Mine consisted of two technical interviews, one behavior interview, and one API design interview (if I remember correctly). The entire interview process took place remotely (I forget which video meeting service was used).
After my full-loop interview, it took over six weeks to finally receive a rejection. The wait was intense.
The entire process took almost exactly 4 months.

Pretty smooth. First round phone interview. Second round video coding round. Last round panel round. The recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. Easy going process but takes almost a month. Got eliminated after panel round.
