I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2014
Interview
The process started with a relatively informal call with a Recruiter who gave background on the opportunity and answered all my questions. Next stage was a screen with the Hiring Manager. Final stage was a 2 hour meeting onsite with 4 people on the team for 30 minutes each. Each interviewer covered a particular area and it was informal in style. I expected some crazy questions to be thrown in but it was all very straightforward and enjoyable. The Recruiter kept me up to date on the timelines and prepared for every meeting.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2015
Interview
Had 3 (from 4) interviews in total. face-to-face interview was the worse experience I've ever had in my life. One out of 3 interviewers had me waited for over an hour without telling me how long I had to wait. I ended up waiting for nearly 2 hours, and still the person didn't show up. I interviewed with the other 2 interviewers which one of the 2 had less experience and asked less challenging question. Honestly, I didn't expect the questions to be so simple. I would definitely get the same kinda questions from any company. One interviewer mentioned to me that facebook aims to give good interview experience to everyone they interview and at facebook we treat and respect everyone the same. Well...what a shame!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Londres, Angleterre) in May 2014
Interview
The interviewer was 10-15 minutes late which didn't get the interview off to a great start. The interview was basic but when I asked questions regarding the company's vision, the recruiter was unable / unwilling to give me an answer. This made the call very awkward and I was made to feel like I'd asked a stupid question. I ultimately didn't hear back from the recruiter and was then approached a few months later for another job at Facebook by the same recruiter. The overall candidate experience was awful and I don't think it's acceptable to not provide feedback when a candidate takes time off / out of their days to interview.
