I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2019
Interview
The interview process involved 2 technical phone screen rounds one on coding and second on systems. After technical phone screen called for 5 rounds of onsite interview 45 min each. Five rounds included: Distributed system design, Network, Behavioral, Systems and Coding.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Technical Phone Screen Coding question: You will be supplied with two data files in CSV format .
The first file contains statistics about various dinosaurs. The second file contains additional data.
Given the following formula, speed = ((STRIDE_LENGTH / LEG_LENGTH) - 1) * SQRT(LEG_LENGTH * g)
Where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (gravitational constant)
Write a program to read in the data files from disk, it must then print the names of only the bipedal dinosaurs from fastest to slowest.
Technical Phone screen systems: various questions on linux internal and troubleshooting,
few examples: Swap space, strace command, memory related troubleshooting.
Cannot Share Onsite Interview questions due to NDA. Can just provide some ideas about to prepare well on coding, design and linux systems. These are the main areas they look for. I got rejected into systems.
I had two screening rounds and 3 interview loop rounds, Meta leetcode questions, systems design can be extensive. Questions can be repeated so look out for all the available questions online. Systems debugging is a very important topic

talk about internet.
Recuriter round then technical screen with an engineer that then final stage which is four rounds, 2 coding 1 system design and one behavioural, for Production Engineer the questions are often a mix of LC questions and practical file system operations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Reading input from file
BFS/DFS Basic Graph problems
There are 2 rounds, first has PE basics and coding, second has PE basics, coding and Behavioral. Learn linux, OS, Networking in detail. They dig deep into whatever u say. Coding is usually easy, prepare file parsing questions
