I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2021
Interview
The interviewer was not prepared at all, just copy-pasted a problem statement to a shared doc and answered to my questions incorrectly. That led to me incorrectly understanding the problem and ending up solving completely different thing. The recruiter is also not professional, haven't heard from them for like 2 months.
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
