I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
The interview process was unbelievably long and redundant. Over 3 months, in total, I think I had 4 phone screens, ~10 on-site interviews (across 2 separate days). Many were fairly redundant and covered the exact same areas. It came across as formulaic and bureaucratic. The recruiters I talked to, while fairly responsive, constantly over-promised how quickly we could advance to the next step of the process. I ended up taking another offer before hearing the final decision.

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
