I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
I solved a challenged at interviewstreet.com
2 weeks after they emailed me asking to send my CV along with some answers, for example: preferred programming languages, current job, time constrains, availabity for interview...
Another email telling me about how to get prepared for the interview (visiting glassdor.com).
After I replied, 1 week later we coordinated the skype interview.
The interview was kind and explained to me any doubt I had.
They called me explaining the good and bad things I did on my first phone screener, and then we planned a second interview. I was able to solve the second problem but probably I took more time than expected and had some bugs that the interviewer helped me to find out.
The day after the second interview I was said "thanks" by Facebook, that my background didn't fit any current position.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Was referred by the current employee and contacted by the recruiter pretty soon. After a few basic screening questions 2 phone interview were scheduled. Each one for 45 minutes and 5 minutes for additional questions.
The same applies for on-site part, but there are 4 interviews: Generic, Design and 2 Coding - related. The basic scheme - check your background, got some view on your previous job and than talk about technical problems.
The recruiter and all the interviewers are really nice and helpful, it's a real pleasure to be interviewed here.
