I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2012
Interview
I had a great feeling of solid communication with recruiters. The recruiters kept me accurately informed about interview progress. In order to establish an appropriate level of compensation, they seek information about my current employment without being invasive. I have felt interview process can be described by integrity and maturity, making Facebook a great place to work.
This is in stark difference with my experience I have interviewing for other companies (namely Google) where after I passed the technical interviews, the recruiters pushed for very detailed compensation information, even though they in the end failed to provide an offer, missing deadlines in communication causing me to miss a competitive exploding offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jul 2012
Interview
The process was fast and challenging. Phone interview, then remote technical interview with live coding through a web code share site. After passing those rounds I was invited to onsite interview in Menlo Park. The onsite interview involved 4 different people, with a lunch break. I am in my mid 30's in age, and I must say I felt like the old guy at the club. My interviewers were all younger than me, and had a palpable air of superiority. I felt like I nailed each of the interviews, but was not extended an offer with "You struggled on one of the interviews" as the only explanation. Its hard for me shake the thought that it was more work culture than work skill that prevented me from receiving an offer. All in all, no complaints. It was a fun and challenging experience and I ended up with a better job in the long run.
