I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
The process began by talking with a recruiter. I then had two initial 1:1's before doing a day long interview with around 6-7 people throughout the day.
This was a mixture of me showing my work to a group and then problem solving with one or two other people. I also met with other designers for lunch to discuss how things work at Facebook. The afternoon was a mixture of design critiques and explorations of what I'd like to achieve in the position. It was an enjoyable day considering it was an interview.
Afterwards I had a number of follow up 1:1 skype calls with various people from around the company to broaden the topics we spoke about and see different parts of the business.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you were going to redesign an ATM machine, how would you do it?
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.
