I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
The interview process included:
30 minute phone screen with a recruiter to assess my background and whether I am a fit
30 minute technical interview that assessed my 'technical skills'. This is the one where they give you scenarios that you have to build hypothetical research projects for. The best way to prep for this step is to know exactly what your skill set brings to the table, and how you would leverage the knowledge of colleagues with other skill sets to build a full picture of the problem statement at hand.
30 min presentation of a research project, followed by a 30-min Q & A. This was straightforward, but you have to be prepared to speak directly on your method of choice and how you would manage different constraints. Q & A also included general questions about my background and research interests.
All were conducted on the phone/videoconference

Question 1
If you could do any kind of research for FB, what would it be?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Phone screen followed by virtual interview with hiring manager followed by full loop (several interviews on a single day). The recruiter was very helpful in targeting the right role. The hiring manager was quite rude and asked bad questions that could not really have helped assess qualifications for position.

Interview
You have an initial interview, followed by a 4 hour 'full loop' interview. It's quite a difficult process and the interviews are mainly back-to-back. It's not really a 2 step process as the second step is 4 45 min interviews.
