I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2015
Interview
Entire process took about 2.5 weeks. Recruiter reached out to me, screening interview for 20-30 minutes. Explained that I have other offer letters expiring soon, Facebook accelerated their the interview process. Following week I had two 45 minute interviews back to back, the first going over a portfolio piece of mine in-depth, and the other critiquing an existing app (Yelp). Overall this interview process was surprisingly fun, and it's clear to me that Facebook cares about it's employees.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about [project from your portfolio]. What was the goal, what were the challenges, what was your specific role, etc. (The intent is to get a better understanding of your design work/process, intentionality, and overall awareness.)
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.
