The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2011
Interview
After a competition Facebook held on campus I was invited to interview on our university's campus. The interview consisted of a 45 minute 1-on-1 interview with an employee. It was the standard interview, a little chat about your resume/cv, a coding problem, then questions for the interviewer.
There was nothing exceptionally hard about the interview. Know your algorithms and data structures. My question involved neither. I had a LOT of fun with the problem.
My interviewer knew his stuff but refused to admit that Facebook uses Javascript.

Interview
It's a large company, but interviewing was definitely a more robotic process. The technical interviewer seemed checked out and didn't explain interview process well. At the end of the interview the interviewer only talked about himself, so I figured I wasn't in the running anymore.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview was okay and I solved two questions but didn’t pass the first round, hard to tell and didn’t get the feedback why I was failed. Probably they don’t have headcount?
