I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
A standard interview process with 2 rounds. A technical round of 2 Leetcode style problems and a round of technical, system design, and behavioral. Pretty standard and the recruiter went into most of the details beforehand, as well as giving ample time to prepare.
Easy leetcode mediums, behavioral is basically just practice of your STAR conversational so nothing crazy. The bar for hiring is getting lower hence why they layoff the bottom 10-20% every year
