For context, I've been Director level at other Fortune 500 companies. Right now I'm in a start-up.
The process was long, boring and point-less. The recruiter reached out themselves, and then promptly started ignoring my emails the minute I actually began to show interest. Twice I had people forget to get on the phone at the time they'd scheduled.
They spend a lot of time covering the "interview process at Facebook". It just feels like a marketing pitch and to do decently you have to spend a bunch of time researching the company and their process. Unless you're just in it for the money, I'd say skip this biased process that only measures your "Facebook fit" and not your true job skills.

Asked me about product metrics. They insist they are just looking for your "thought process", but the interviewers are inexperienced and thus looking at a check box on the side. My interviewer kept prodding me to cover a very specific metric and didn't care at all about the framework I outlined. The specific metric they finally disclosed would have given a very biased outcome - something they would have known if they had any experience at all. 2 yrs working in 1 company and a PhD that doesn't cover any true business scenarios doesn't qualify you to interview an industry veteran.

First round interview. It is very standard META interview, All are SQL and Product Sense questions. It is very similar to an IC interview, no specific question relevant to manager.
