I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
The interview focus was broken down so there weren't repetitive questions and you could really see how passionate the interviewers are. Recruiters also call you several times to make sure you are well taken care of and always keeps you up to date with the progress of your application. I had a very positive interviewing experience.

Question 1
It's not that the questions are difficult, but they focus a lot on culture fit and drive.
I was surprised at how casually a team of recruiters took an interview with a fellow recruiter. Given that I did not receive an offer, I suspect the decision to not move forward was made early because my interviewers showed a very clear lack of interest in what I had to say. One even spent most of the interview sending messages on his phone.
Panel of 5 interviews, all virtual and one to one. Each had a different theme, my recruiter prepped me in advance. Looking for candidates to use the STAR method and discuss past experiences.

Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a colleague.
Started with a recruiting message, followed by a phone screen with the recruiter to talk through the role, expectations, and gauge overall interest and alignment. Then moved to a virtual onsite with 3 additional team members.
