The interviewers were uninterested and rude towards candidates, the interview process took about 3 months. Their recruitment process needs to be way more organized to avoid rescheduling interviews day of.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in May 2020
Interview
2 screening interviews,
Software - on-site

All interviewers were very pleasant and tried to help with questions that were difficult for me
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an m x n matrix board where each cell is a battleship 'X' or empty '.', return the number of the battleships on board.
Battleships can only be placed horizontally or vertically on board. In other words, they can only be made of the shape 1 x k (1 row, k columns) or k x 1 (k rows, 1 column), where k can be of any size. At least one horizontal or vertical cell separates between two battleships (i.e., there are no adjacent battleships).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2024
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me, and I took the online assessment (multiple choice linux questions) and heard back the same day that I passed. Next was 2 screening interviews (1 coding and 1 systems). I heard back a couple days later that I made it to the final round (2 coding, 1 systems, 1 behavioral). It took about 1 week to hear back after the final rounds. After final rounds was team matching. I talked with 1 manager and moved forward with them. Overall pe coding section was easier than the swe questions but systems knowledge needs to be pretty in depth (signals, virtual memory, mmu, networking, linux commands, file systems).
