I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
First call is to get to know you as a person, see if your resume is accurate, judge your interest in the company. My recruiter was AWESOME (Facebook prioritizes this).
The second interview is where the knowledge is tested. I did well up until the last question and I floundered pretty hard. More details in the second question below.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Open ended: what do you know about Memory Management in Objective C?
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
