Question 1
What experiment would you run to implement new features on Facebook?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
The interview process was unbelievably long and redundant. Over 3 months, in total, I think I had 4 phone screens, ~10 on-site interviews (across 2 separate days). Many were fairly redundant and covered the exact same areas. It came across as formulaic and bureaucratic. The recruiters I talked to, while fairly responsive, constantly over-promised how quickly we could advance to the next step of the process. I ended up taking another offer before hearing the final decision.

Then an online coding exercise with a shared screen (coderpad.io) about processing some data using SQL or another language.
