I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Providence, RI) in Jun 2015
Interview
I talked to an engineer at college career fair, got a first round interview for the following week. The interview was a 1:1 technical interview that lasted 45 minutes. The recruiter hosted a meet and greet session with all the engineers and interviewees the night before interviews began so everyone could get to know their interviewer in a more relaxed setting.
Recruiter call was pretty standard, first round was 2 Meta tagged LC mediums in 45 minutes. On-site was 2 coding sessions of 2 LC mediums, a system design interview and a behavioral interview with an engineering manager.
