Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
It was a Meta software engineering interview for the security and privacy team. They had a screening round, and if you pass that, you move into the main interview loop. They asked two questions in forty minutes for their pre-screening round interview. Then they had a four by one-hour interview loop.
Questions
They asked hard questions from LeetCode. The two questions were from the sixty-day asked for Meta interview prep.
