I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2017
Interview
My experience with Facebook recruitment was very good. I applied through their careers page and got an email from a recruiter no more than 10 minutes later. I was sent a link to an online quiz that had questions related to the role I was applying for. After my response the recruiter scheduled a quick call. I then went on to do two 45 minute online coding interviews with two different engineers from Facebook. Both interviews where very pleasant and relaxed, the questions where not too difficult at start but then became more complex. The people that interviewed me were very friendly and reasonable, it did not feel like they where testing me (even though they did) but rather like we where evaluating my fit for the role together. After my interviews I was very uncertain of how I did. The recruiter called me and informed me that they wanted me on the team and they gave me an offer.
Facebook has been very friendly, present and helpful at all steps in the recruitment.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
Pretty straightforward. I interviewed for the PE University Grad role. The first round was mainly a basic coding round and a PE basics round. Once I passed that, there was a loop of 3 interviews - System round (focussed on OS concepts), another coding round and a behavioral round.
I had two screening rounds and 3 interview loop rounds, Meta leetcode questions, systems design can be extensive. Questions can be repeated so look out for all the available questions online. Systems debugging is a very important topic
