I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2019
Interview
Had 2 back-to-back one-hour long phone interviews. Was able to answer all the questions. The interviewers did help when I seemed to be stuck in coming up with better optimized solutions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2016
Interview
I got the interview through my friend's referral. It took about one day to get the email after he referred me. I was given a list of different groups and asked to choose three of them. The phone interview is almost coding stuff. The interviewer was an Indian with some accent. I couldn't understand him very well and I asked him to explain a lot. He was nice and gave some hints when I was stuck. The interview lasted for 45min including 2 coding questions. On the same day, I received the email that they decided not to move forward with my interview.

Interview
The interviewer called me rather than skype as the HR told me, the phone signal was not good, and he had to move to another place to call me again. This is my first coding interview, so I was not quite used to it. I was running out of time to write a good code, and I feel it is hard to evaluate the coding ability of a student in a limited time.
