I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2015
Interview
Started off with a basic screening test from a recruiter, basic programming questions that your really should know.
This was followed by two 1 hour Skype interviews, both interviews consisted of 1 programming question and then 15 mins chatting. The questions at this stage are very basic (arrays).
Final stage was onsite interview, 4 back to back interviews, these were a lot harder but with good revision easily passed. Just make sure you know your data structures and basic algorithms.
Overall best interview experience ever! everyone is amazing and you leave knowing this is the place you really want to work!

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
