The loop at Meta has definitely evolved recently. The initial phone screen was standard algorithms. However, the virtual onsite was much more practical than I expected. They still have the architecture and behavioral rounds, but they also included a live coding and debugging session.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta

It was a technical phone call. The interviewer explained the role and gave me time to ask questions I had. She asked me how comfortable I would be with the coding interviews in the future. The recruiter was very friendly, and even though I did not continued in the process, she gave me a document on how to prepare for Facebook interviews in the future.

I'll post an update if I have one.
