I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Was reached out to by a recruiter via email. The recruiter included information about working at Facebook. The first interview was a phone interview with two Leetcode hard difficulty questions. The interviewer slightly twisted the questions after I solved them.
Heard back within a couple of days and was invited to an onsite University Day. The onsite experience was amazing. The recruiters are really great at what they do. Had three interviews which all contained coding questions. Two of the interviews were purely technical. One was 3/4 behavioral, 1/4 technical. All technical interviews started with a medium difficulty question, then a harder question. Most of the questions I had not heard of before.
I was extremely impressed by the culture, values, office, perks, etc. After interviewing with other "big-4" companies, this was my favorite. You can really tell that the engineers (from at least what I saw) at Facebook are pretty brilliant. They all emphasized to not fall into impostor syndrome.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied online, get tech phone screen invitation through email. The interviewer was late for 15 minutes. Then talked about what is his team working on for another 15 minutes. Then Asked 3 Linkedlist questions. It's 5 minutes left, then he asked a question with the idea of binary search but not trivial. I can not make it within the time limit.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2018
Interview
the typical 1 hour technical phone call and then 3 rounds onsite. onsite first two rounds technical were ok, last round the guy showed up 15 minutes late and throughout the process was a bit rude asking questions that I don't think he should be asking. the office was nice though
