Application
I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2018
Interview
First round is technical phone interview then followed up with another one. Depending on how you do you might get the offer or have another technical interview. I did well enough on the first one but during the second one, the interviewer had a strong accent so I did not understand the question until 20 minutes into the problem. You are only given 45 minutes the solve the question by the way.

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
