I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online, they responded within a week, set up a time to discuss about the positions available. I got a call sharply at the mentioned time, she told me about the type of work they do at Facebook, asked me about my interests and at the end told me to prepare for the initial technical screening.
I scheduled it two weeks later. Got a call from the interviewer, he introduced himself, told me briefly the work he does at Facebook and then asked me to open the coderpad link that I got from email. I was asked 1 standard programming question, the call lasted about 40mins, at the end he asked me if I have any questions and concluded the interview. Still waiting for their feedback (its been only 2 days now)

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2017
Interview
I had three interviews -- first was technical on the phone + coderpad with engineer from head office, and next two -- via bluejeans + coderpad with engineers from local office. I was given 4 questions in total, all of them didn't require any special knowledge, such as graph theory and were connected mostly with dynamic programming and regression.
