I got contacted by a recruiter. I then had one round of behavioral interview and another round of technical interview. Did not make to the onsite stage. Overall the experience was positive and the recruiter was very helpful.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview with the recruiter scheduled quickly. The recruiter was really friendly and provided some material to prep for the technical interview. The technical interview went well and the interviewer seemed to be in consensus with the solutions/answers. However, surprisingly shortly after received an email indicating not moving forward.
