Process
The recruiter reached out for an SDE role, followed by a technical interview.
The interview was fairly easy, with two easy-level questions, and I solved them both within the allotted time.

Pros: Meta was an amazing place to work. I learned a tremendous amount and was treated incredibly well. My coworkers were all incredibly smart, and many of them were cool.
Although Meta has a reputation for being toxic, and I think that reputation may now be true, it was a very supportive environment while I was there.
