First you'll have a few calls with their recruiters. They do a decent job preparing you for the interviews, basically telling you what questions to expect. There are 2 video calls after that, a test they say to spend 3 hours on (you'll spend an entire weekend), then the (virtual) all day interviews. First you’ll present your test and your work samples, then you’ll meet one on one with 3 people for extended interviews. Everyone is nice and they’ve got their process down. I found the on-your-feet core skills interview confusing. They wanted you to quickly read and critique an existing user flow, basically a set of privacy options. My negative feelings about this exercise confirmed that it wasn’t the type of work I want to be doing. I prepared by watching a video with a panel of FB Content Strategists describing how you needed to “build influence from day one” and “have each other’s back” to sell your ideas. This also wasn’t appealing. The test and the exercises would lead you to believe you’ll be working on the Facebook newsfeed but when I asked what role I’d be interviewing for they told me the openings were for internal facing products in HR and engineering, not the high profile stuff. You may have noticed as of late 2020, the Content Strategists are now called Content Designers. That was a good call. I agree that they are looking for UX Content Designers. I’m really happy that I did the interviews, it was a good experience to interview for a top tech firm.

The interview process was very long and over the course of a few months. - A screening call from a recruiter - Initial video call interview - Second video call interview - 72 hour home exercise and presentation - In person presentation followed by three 1:1 interviews the same day, including real-time tests. The interview process takes a lot of time and energy - despite getting to the last round after weeks of preparation and flying out to the SF office, I was informed I did not get the position and provided with zero effective feedback, which is quite disappointing at that stage from a company of Facebook's stature, especially considering the amount of work they expect a candidate to put in.
