I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was local to the Facebook offer so they did the screens in person. The first one did not go very well, but went well enough to get a second chance (as opposed to a full interview). The second one went better and I was invited back for a full day of interviews. They were able to rush the process since I had other offers.
The full day interview was 4 interviews. 1 system design question, 1 manager interview ("Tell me about a time..."), 2 algorithms questions. Everyone was welcoming and enthusiastic, so that made the stressful process easier.
I got a call from the recruiter about 4 days later telling me they were not moving forward with an offer. A bit disappointing and it wasn't entirely clear why as I thought the interview went well. I was interviewing for a smaller office so maybe that made a difference.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Sep 2015
Interview
I was reached by a Facebook recruiter through referral program. The recruiter was very quick, and I was phone interviewed in next couple of days. The coding question is not difficult, but has to be bug free for all coding questions. I answered two coding questions, and the last question had a followup question. The followup question is a bit difficult, so I messed up with some coding details.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Applied online and quickly received a schedule for a phone technical interview. Got onto a coderpad.io call with an engineer. I'm bad at technical interviews, so it was a grueling thirty minutes of him helping me through the problem. Got an email within a few days saying I would not move ahead.
