I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
First HR person took a 30 minute session to talk about the company, work-culture, facebook's bootcamp
Then after a week first telephonic was scheduled and then almost after every 10 days interval next telephonic was scheduled.
Important TIP: Interviewers are very helpful, some people have mentioned that they are very strict but that's not the case. Keep your head cool and answer to their questions patiently. They usually don't mind small mistakes in the code.
