I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
I got an email from a recruiter asking if I'd be interested in interviewing with the Reality Labs team. I expressed my interest and we set up a call to chat in more detail. What followed was:
* Exploratory call with the hiring manager
* Follow up call with the recruiter
* 2 hour interview, split into 1 hour with the hiring manager presenting my portfolio (3 projects) and 1 hour with a fellow designer conducting an app review (Google Maps)
* Was declined for the role
* Followed up with the recruiter who gave me feedback via a phone call
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How large was the team you were working on? Who else did you work with when you were doing X? What kind of work do you enjoy more, X or Y and why?
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.
