I took part in the first round of a Meta interview process before the role got filled in by someone else. The interview was domain-focused and conducted by a member of the team for which Meta was hiring. They didn't ask Leet Code, but to parse some CSV in Python and extract the right data; then they asked about system-level debugging, also relevant to the role. They were friendly and easy to talk to.
