Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 6+ weeks)
They delayed me 2 times and twice the interviewers forgot to call, so I had 2 interviews in more than a month.
The interviews themselves were very ok and the interviewer was very approachable, the logistics part was just a pain.
It consisted on 2 problems and background general questions like what is "stack overflow" and what is the difference and advantage of continuous memory with regards to the non-continuous one

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Palo Alto, CA (took 1+ week)
I had 2 phone screens before I got internship offer. Both had the same format - first 5 minutes talking about my experience, then ~30 minutes of coding questions. My interviewers were nice, smart and asked only reasonable questions. After each interview I had couple more minutes to ask my own questions and learn something about Facebook.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
Found internship position through school's career fair. I was asked to apply through my school's career center website and send my resume electronically. I was contacted about 2 weeks later to sign up for my interview. The initial interview was only 30 minutes long and consisted of just one coding question and one technical question relating to a project that I did that I found interesting.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Initial contact followed by written test. Written test consists of software problem solving including algorithm type problems. Algorithm problems were fairly tough. Time was tight for me. One should have sufficient preparation, and practice for problem solving and coding speed. Read algorithm textbook again and review common and key algorithms.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 5 days)
20 minute HR screener asking basic questions of Java features (Put Java as a dominant language)
60 minute follow-up interview with Engineer asking questions about data structures and used a system where we could share writing code together. Wrote code to find the maximum subsequence sum over the phone and struggled through an example. Also did another couple problems. Was rather nervous and talked very little about my other non-coding experiences.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Menlo Park, CA (took 4 weeks)
A friend referred me, and I had to take up their online programming test. They readily scheduled a phone interview, which went well and within an hour I received a mail asking for time to schedule the second. The second one also went well, and they offered me the job after 3-4 days.

Recruiter sent email and invited me to the interview on campus. 1:1 interview in 30 min. First, the interviewer introduces himself, and my self-introduction. What am I interested in Facebook. Then write the code on the whiteboard. Step by step. Then he asked me if I have any question for their company.
