I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in May 2018
Interview
I was approached by a Facebook recruiter via LinkedIn. Phone interview with recruiter to see if I was a fit. Then a half day on-site interview at Facebook HQ. Recruiter prepped me very well for the interview which was in two parts. Firstly a 45 minute portfolio review with a product designer showcasing two projects. Then some questions. Then immediately another 45 minute interview with another designer to do an app critique (Spotify). I was then told I would hear back within 48 hours. 2 weeks later I got a generic email saying they were no longer pursuing my application and they couldn't offer any feedback which was very disappointing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how the Spotify app feels when you first open it?
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.
