I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Sep 2018

After a friend referrer me from the same program I've gone through the HR portfolio review and preliminary interview, You go through two more steps. One is a portfolio review (2 projects) with a senior designer the other is 30 minutes app critique session together with another senior designer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What value can you bring to the company?

------------------------------------------------------------
Which is your contribution to the project?
Why did you make this design decision?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Why do you think they have made this choice?
Which is the rationale behind this layout in your opinion?
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
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.
