I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2016
Interview
It was a phone call with coderpad for coding. Just like how some people say college professors/lecturers who teach class shouldn't have heavy accents, THE SAME THING GOES FOR INTERVIEWERS. I had trouble understand him and it seemed like Facebook didn't give a damn about who they use as their interviewers and just pulled someone out of a hat. The interviewer was nice and knowledgeable about the question he was asking, but that was it. He also called in late, saying he had trouble finding a room that was free. That's super irresponsible, and I feel like Facebook does not dedicate time to improve the interviewing process. I'm glad they don't recruit at my university.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Emailed recruiter who's email I had from last year's internship interview. Probably due to large amount of applicants, they kept losing my information and taking a very long time to get back to me. Took around 3 weeks to schedule a first-round phone interview.
After passing, I told them I had a deadline within a week - they were able to schedule an onsite that was 3 days later, and I received an offer 2 days after my onsite. Initial phone screen scheduling was frustrating, but they more than made up for it by getting back to me so quickly after the interview and working with my timeline.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2016
Interview
on-campus interview. I wanted to schedule a phone interview, recruiter said they have on-campus interviews in 2 weeks, so I went to the on-campus interview. They move pretty fast in terms of scheduling and giving out results, within 3 business days.
