I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2017
Interview
I got the interview by internal reference. It started with a questionnaire about your previous experience, potential starting date and other basic questions.
Then I talked the recruiter on phone. In this phone interview, he asked about my internship projects, then tried to find an initial match team based on my experience. I was thrown to Ads team, which I was not that excited about.
After this is a scheduling back to back phone screen interviews with current designers, one for portfolio reviews (at least 2 projects in 45 min) and one for APP critiques (you'll get a chance to select which one you'd like to talk about).
2 days later, I got an email saying they don't want to move on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did the APP do this? What's the business goal of this feature?
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
Typical interview process consisting of multiple rounds—Pre-screen, Portfolio Presentation, Full-Loop (Presentation, App Crit, Whiteboard Challenge and Behavioral) - Felt I did really well, and I got great feedback during the rounds but ultimately received no offer.
