I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Had in-person interview with two people. The first interview was more about industry, vision - what areas FB can invest in etc. The second one was more on analytics, data.
Both persons were nice, easy to talk and the tone of the interview was casual discussion.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was not any surprise or difficult question. But the vision interviewer asked to detail out steps to achieve the desired vision.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Had two phone interviews and then an on-site interview day. The two phone interviews were a combination of design scenarios (ie. "If you were the product manager at Facebook for a new product in the x industry", where x is an industry that isn't known to be social) and personality type questions (ie. "Tell me about impact in your career."). The on-site interview varied from understanding the health of a web application (using metrics), situational questions (ie. "How would you determine how many new users we should expect to get tomorrow?" "If an important metric drops by 50% of expected value, what would you do?"), wire-framing a new product for mobile, questions about the future of social.
There were technical questions, but no algorithm questions, coding, or distributed system level design questions which was surprising given the nature of building/designing large scale web and mobile applications.

Question 1
There were no surprises, unexpected questions, or incredibly difficult questions. They wanted to know how much I knew about the things I knew, which is common in a tech interview.
