I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2017
Interview
Basically I reached out to a university recruiter who had visited our campus a couple of times. Very nice and gave me a full critique of my resume. Still liked my experience enough to refer me to technical recruiter. Technical recruiter called about a week later and we performed the white-boarding test. Questions were asked over the phone and I was expected to put my answers into an online IDE that he could see. First two questions were relatively easy but last one was very difficult and I didn't finish it well (time complexity was too high). I did not receive an offer.

2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
