I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2016
Interview
The process is a little messy, I got routed to the wrong recruiter for the wrong position, and as such was completely misaligned with the recruiter during the interview. It can be better arranged, and while the recruiter's are nice, you can somehow feel that they're just regurgitating words they usually say and it sounds forced.
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.
Typical interview process consisting of multiple rounds—Pre-screen, Portfolio Presentation, Full-Loop (Presentation, App Crit, Whiteboard Challenge and Behavioral) - Felt I did really well, and I got great feedback during the rounds but ultimately received no offer.
