I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2015
Interview
My time interviewing with Facebook was one of the best recruiting experiences I've ever had. Everyone was kind and supportive through the process, and the atmosphere was generally comfortable.
I attended a Facebook event at my university. I started off with two brief portfolio reviews, followed by 1 interview to critique an app. After that, I was brought on site to knock out 5 interviews with current product designers and a product design manager.
In my process, I found it important to focus not just on the experience in the context of the projects that you're showing, but also in your interactions with the team. Listen carefully and think through your design decisions in the exercises. Demonstrate your empathy and understanding of the product space. Prepare yourself well! The onsite interview is very exhilarating and intensive so make sure you're well rested before a day of great conversations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What other approaches did you try out in your projects?
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
