I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2022
Interview
A phone screen with a recruiter, followed by an online algorithm screen, an algorithm interview, and then two algorithm interviews with a behavioural interview. Although it was extremely intimidating, most of the questions were in the LeetCode Medium range (except for the phone screen, which included some Dynamic Programming questions). The behavioural round was standard questions about my previous job experience, such as times where I faced challenges with coworkers or disagreed with my manager. Overall, the interviewers were extremely pleasant and helpful. Everybody wanted me to succeed.

Question 1
Many of the questions could be found directly in Cracking the Coding Interview. The questions were uncomplicated and mostly relied on knowledge of the fundamental algorithms (e.g. tree traversal) rather than specific knowledge.
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
It's honestly striaght from leetcode tagged
There are no surprises if you do tagged you would be good and do well.
System design is much harder. Would recommend using hello interview.
