I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2022
Interview
Phone call with recruiter -> Phone Screen Technical -> Onsite
The phone call with recruiter was pretty straightforward, asked some basic questions on JS and front-end, was moved to phone screen on the spot.
The phone screen consisted of 2 technical questions in ~40 mins, finished 10 mins early with optimized solutions and accurately answering the follow ups by the interviewer. The interviewer said it was "excellent" and then was ghosted for about a week and then finally rejected. Sucks to see lack of transparency in process because many others who crammed repeated questions got in and I was kicked out for unknown reasons. No feedback from the recruiter of course.
Don't think I'll consider a career with Meta again given the disappointing and biased recruiting process and dilution of quality in hiring.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2022
Interview
I went through the phone screening process (three easy questions) and scheduled the following interview which never materialized (canceled due to too many
recruitment processes opened at the company, probably cost-cutting measures). That is understandable, but I have wasted some time on the preparation.
