I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in May 2018
Interview
Very similar to the process described in other reviews. Recruiter reached out on Linkedin, had a video interview on SQL and product execution. Recruiter got back within 2 days that I passed the round. Then I chose a date for onsite interview few weeks later and they flew me out to Menlo Park office. At onsite, 4 rounds with lunch in between. Each round is 30min, definitely flies by. I did well on SQL and Stats rounds but could've done better on product and data interpretation rounds. Got a sense that these rounds might be weighted heavier than the technical rounds. Stats questions were directly from the list of questions you'd see on Glassdoor.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How will you analyze if launching stories is a good idea? What data would you look at?
3 SQL questions based on dummy data on Ads. How will you write a query to calculate ROI, then per source etc. Simple group by and subqueries. Just need to keep in mind your join conditions.
The Interview Process is very structured -
First Tech Screening round - 45 mins (usually can extend a bit depending on the interviewer)
- 2 SQL Questions ( Medium to Hard ) - based on Joins
Full Loop - 4 rounds 45 mins each.
- SQL
- Behavioral
- Analytical Execution - stats & prob, A/B testing, case study
- Analytical Reasoning - Case study

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
