I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2017
Interview
The process began with a 45 minute phone screen in which I was asked two questions. The questions are similar to those you'd find on difficult websites like leetcode.com. Doing these problems and being comfortable with doing them under time pressure is very important. The interviewer was very nice and cooperative.
no referral, directly applied online.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
