The process took about 3 weeks. I asked the recruiter some questions about the internship and was offered an interview with the company one day after applying via their site.
The first interview was with a developer in the USA, and the second one was with a developer from London. Everybody was pleasant and nice.

Pros: Facebook trusts its engineers.
We get free food, access to technology as and when it would help our job, a good working environment, and the ability to regularly move from team to team to prevent burnout and ensure that we've spread our knowledge widely.
Lots of flexibility in working hours helps, too.
Cons: You need to take a good grip on your work-life balance. If you want to be first in, you'll be arriving before 7 am, while if you want to be last out, you won't leave before midnight. There's no one who'll necessarily stop you being both first in and last out.
