Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Very straight forward, typical questions nothing tricky. I would say for the non technical/heavy organization roles you must know how to balance priorities. So most of the questions were scenario based or were drawn from my experience.

Tell me how you would manage communication with multiple XFNs
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Sep 2019
Interview
The process took approximately 3 months. This was overwhelmingly positive despite not receiving an offer and I say this as someone who has been both a hiring manager and candidate, having been through processes that were a lot less desirable. The recruiter based in Dublin (IE) assigned was nothing short of excellent. The first stage was a pre-call post a referral and a short telephone interview - this was mostly competency and interest based. This followed up with a BlueJeans (video) call with the hiring manager. This was a mixture of competency and technical based, specifically on examples digging deeper on areas within the job specification. The recruiter kept me informed through the process and then an on-site interview was arranged. This was 3x on-site interviews and one virtually the next day. The recruiter was able to give me solid advice on what topics to expect, and coaching with examples and best practice on each stage for 30 minutes before hand. This was unexpected, but very helpful. The 3x interviews on-site all required using a whiteboard, and to explain case-based scenario questions. The team were very friendly who I had met and put me at ease but I would lie if this wasn't tough - you had to think on the spot and showcase direction of your thoughts. The video interview later in the day was more competency based. Eventually, the team decided not to proceed because of a fit to the role specifically, but I did manage to get good feedback from the recruiter on where to improve. Overall, I felt very positive about the experience at Facebook and the culture experienced during the interview process compared to other companies. The one other element to note is they have a Facebook Ambassadors programme and I had spoken to someone in the team - again, a really encouraging part of the process which gave a good insight to the team and showcased the culture. I'd highly recommend to reach out and take advantage of that.
