I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Contacted by recruiter over Linkedin.
Passed between 3 different recruiters.
Did phone screen.
Did 5 hours of onsite interviews.
Got no feedback from recruiter.
Emailed recruiter twice over several days before receiving reply.
Recruiter replies that they want to do another 45 min interview.
Set up time for a call with recruiter to schedule & discuss process.
At this point I've never met recruiter because I was greeter for onsite by yet a different recruiter.
Recruiter did not call at designated time or follow up over email.
Had to email recruiter.
I gave up.
Already wasn't willing to do another interview.
How can your process be so broken that you can't decide yes or no after 6 hours of interviews?
If you need another interview its a no.
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
