I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2024
Interview
This was for an i3 Security Engineer role. I only got to the technical screening which is an hour. The first 45 minutes are spent on scenario-based questions, and the last 15 is scripting. You can't test the code and no checking on Google.
I think the questions are fair...I can't tell.

The scenarios are around starting a detection program and investigating a leak. It is open-ended, so they say.
The coding question is parsing strings and dictionary-related.
There is a phone interview with 2 rounds, one threat modeling and one coding. The coding round is 2 questions in about 15 mins each, they can be lc easy to medium
Initial technical screening round with one coding round and one thread modeling round. Final round was three separate interviews. Two technical one behavioral. The technical rounds were focused on threat modeling different types of applications.
The interview process was very structured and oriented around being able to evaluate a candidate while enabling a candidate to talk to multiple employees across different teams to ask questions and form opinions. It consisted of different tracks of technical evaluation as well as behavioral evaluation. The process was respectful, professional, and geared to surface a good fit to the company and their culture as well as someone that could demonstrate solid technical proficiency.
