I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I got an email from a recruiter from Facebook if I was interested in the interview process. I didn't qualify for the on-site interview, but I did clear first screening and one phone interview on networking.
I struggled during the scripting interview as I had never done the scripting before on share screen. I would advise practicing that before the interview.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Takes not a long period to response and interview. Just two weeks. Interviewer is really nice and the questions are not so difficult. Because I was refereed by employee so the application process only takes one week, which is much faster than other ways.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on linkedin.
Maybe two weeks later, I had a phone screening call with the recruiter, first part is kind of marketing: OCP, scale at Facebook, Facebook projects. After basic networking and python questions.
routing, switching.
I finally did a phone interview. But was not selected for the onsite interview.
Follow up is very slow and difficult.
