I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2017
Interview
1 phone interview followed by 5 onsite interviews. Both coding and product sense are tested. The recruiters provide extremely detailed summaries on what will be asked so you have no excuse not to be well prepared!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product questions that ask you how to derive a specific metric or what data you would use to solve a specific problem
Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR

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.
