Recruiter screening which is short, recruiter basically asked about background and technical skills, then shared a bit more about the interview process.
Then a video interview about product and coding. The SQL question is not difficult, but I feel like the interviewer is looking for an exact same response with the correct answer rather than letting you make some mistakes along the way and then correcting it. Product questions are around whether you will launch a feature or how to improve a product, again, even if it is claimed that they are looking more at your thought process than the actual answer, I feel like the latter is what they care about in the end of the day. I guess it is understandable given that so many people are applying for the position which is not too technical, their bar needs to be high.
Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
