I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Boston, MA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied through on campus career fair. Got interview in a week. Invited to a reception before the interview in their office. Interview process is very straightforward. Interviewer was nice. Talked about my projects on resume a little bit and why I like to work at facebook. Standard SQL questions.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
The entire interview process is very accurately described here on glassdoor by many people. If you can do what they say in the other reviews, there is nothing unexpected or new really. Only new thing I can maybe add is that I felt coding quickly was something they cared a lot about.
