I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, San Jose) in June 2018
Interview
I had a 45 minute technical interview with 3 weeks of preparation. I studied mostly with Facebook's CodeLab, which helped me a lot. Before hanging up the interview call, the employer was sort of ambiguous on whether I passed the interview or not. I am guessing there was no second offer, and therefore didn't pass the first phase.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta

First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
