I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2016
Interview
First talked about my resume and projects. After that the interviewer ask me two algorithm questions. The first one is two sum. Given a target, find a two number in an array that sums up to the target number. The second question is to get the longest length of string with n distinct characters.

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.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was brought in for an onsite screening interview. All of the prep material that was sent to me emphasized the importance of creating a conversation with the interviewer, which I agree with. However, during the interview, my interviewer told me the problem to solve and then just went completely silent aside from answering yes/no to my questions about the problem. I get that there's less to talk about during a screening interview, but it came across as extremely unfriendly and probably resulted in wasted time as I just talked my way through the problem to no particular end.
