I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in May 2020
Interview
I passed the first round and scheduled the final round interview with the recruiter. She said we are very busy and gave me an interview date which is more than 1 month later from my first round. I asked her about the next steps and got very delayed responses. We scheduled a phone call to learn more about the next steps and she didn't show up. 10 days later, I got an email saying "Due to meeting our business needs, we are not considering anymore E4 SWE candidates at this time". They terminated my interview process because of business needs and didn't communicate with me properly to see if I am a good fit for other roles. Very negative recuiter experience.
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.
