Interview
I had my friend referred me to the intern position. It took about 3 weeks to hear from a recruiter. The process was pretty easy. After only one phone interview I was invited to go onsite. The phone interview takes 45 minutes. First talked about one of my previous projects. Then two technical problems.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Very technical questions. Be sure to review your data structures, sorting algorithms, and syntax without a reference. They don't care much about syntax, but it might trip you up during whiteboarding. They were extremely friendly, put you up in a hotel and take good care of you during the interview. I think there were many opportunities to ask questions and learn more about the specific problems they're trying to solve.
I was applying to Facebook through a friend that is working there. I was first contacted by a recruiter who asked some technical questions.
I was next contacted only 2 weeks later and a phone interview was set.
The question was relatively easy, but I was stressed and couldn't think of a way to make it more efficient.
