I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied on Facebook website.
A recruiter contacted me about 3-4 weeks later and scheduled an interview on campus, coming to our University.
That was a technical interview where I had 2 problems based on Data Structures (Trees mainly) and bits manipulation. I passed the interview and I was scheduled for one more online. I was disappointed about the second interviewer, he didn't feel like really enjoying interviewing and also was doing something else during my interview for some part (about 10 minutes). He finished the interview quite shortly and I didn't pass to the next one.
Having a function that generates only 0 or 1, write a function that using the above function to generate integer in the range [0, n] with n given, and by giving same chance to all the numbers by calling only that function.
Having a circular linked list array which is sorted and giving a new value to insert and a link to one of the nodes, insert the new value while keeping the linked list sorted.
no referral, directly applied online.

Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
