Lots of design questions, somehow ridiculous. Some interviewers were aggressive and not friendly. Lack of diversity was obvious in the hiring team. In my opinion, it was a big waste of my time, and their AR/VR team do not really know what they are looking for, and lack of direction was clear, and this is evident by 50% stock plunge in Meta stock.
