I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
I submitted my resume online via their job app. I was contacted by a recruiter about two weeks after that. I had one ~45-60 minute phone interview with an engineer where we walked through a BST problem. He asked several successive questions about optimisation and making the algorithm more memory/space efficient.
Then, I interviewed with a member of the personalised video team at the Menlo Park location during one of their UDay events. The interview was also about an hour and I walked through two questions on a whiteboard.
Very friendly employees, cool campus, but not much feedback from the interview process overall :(

I applied through college or 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.

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
