I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Two interviews - one on my university campus, one on the nearest Facebook campus. Got back promptly after the second interview. The culture is amazingly open, any intern can look at any piece of code in the company - nothing is secret. Additionally a lot of trust is put in interns and employees.
