I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
The whole process was very fast and fun.
Had two video-conferences: First was to critique an App (had Yelp) with 2 designers, second to walk another designer through a project on my portfolio.
Onsite interview started out with a portfolio presentation for around 6 or 7 designers. Then I had 1-1 with them to discuss my work, experience and also space to ask my own questions. I also had to critique another app and do a whiteboard design exercise with 2 designers. Fun!
The experience was awesome and kinda of made me realize how important it is to know what questions to ask. Those questions can probably tell a lot about you, as much as your answers to their questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are you looking forward as the next step of your career?
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
Typical interview process consisting of multiple rounds—Pre-screen, Portfolio Presentation, Full-Loop (Presentation, App Crit, Whiteboard Challenge and Behavioral) - Felt I did really well, and I got great feedback during the rounds but ultimately received no offer.
