I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in May 2019
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. After a chat about my interests and experienced, we set up a phone screen.
Phone screen was as described by the recruiter. It was 45 minutes long. After being called, we jumped right into two coding questions that were on the easier side of Leetcode medium. There were 5 minutes for questions at the end.
After that, I was invited on-site and given about a month to study. The recruiter gave me a bunch of prep materials and the interviews basically went as described. The coding questions were all about Leetcode medium level, some harder than others. Like the phone interview, you do have to finish both questions optimally in 40 minutes.
My tip for preparing for the on-site is to focus on medium level questions and just get really good at solving them quickly. Time how long it takes you to solve a new problem and keep going until you get under 20 minutes consistently. Also check for any optimizations before you say you’re done.

Question 1
Signed NDA so can’t disclose specific questions. Study Facebook tagged Leetcode questions. While not all of them were on there, they focused on similar topics.
The interview process of Facebook is quite transparent. No online assessment, one phone interview and then onsite interview. I'm a new graduate and I went to one of the U-days. The arrangement was professional and fun.

Question 1
Facebook's questions are mostly from Leetcode. So prepare yourself and be confident.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2019
Interview
I submitted my application a month before I was contacted by email to schedule a phone screening interview. At the time I was on vacation so I couldn't do it in one of the available dates, it was delayed and by the time I said I would be available I was contacted again.
The person I talked to was nice and easy to talk to, didn't make the process too much stressful, either way, I was stressed enough to not be able to answer correctly and I know I wasn't fully prepared for the interview questions.
