I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2015
Interview
I first had a portfolio review at a school portfolio review event then got emails for a next rounds of interviews. Had to pick 1 or 2 projects and share with them in details. Asked me how I would further develop some projects and asked about thinking process as well.
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
