I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2013
Interview
Contacted by recruited and setup an initial phone screening which consisted of resume questions and three multiple choice iOS questions. The next phase was an hour long technical phone interview which can be done in person or over the phone, I chose phone. I enjoyed talking to the FB engineer and thought it was a positive experience even though I did not advance to the third leg of the interview process.

Pretty standard interview process for FAANG/MANGA companies. Initial call with a recruiter, preliminary coding interview, on-site that spanned two days (because I asked) and a follow-up interview. The on-site interview consisted of 3 coding interviews, 1 behavioral, and 1 system design interview.
