I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I had three rounds of interviews, one 15-min phone screening with recruiter, then two 45-min rounds with data scientists. The interviews were very structured. In each interview, I was asked to talk about a data analysis project I've worked on. Then I was asked some simple data manipulation questions (you can choose to use SQL/Python/R), basic stats/probability questions, and product analytics case questions. Time at the end to ask the interviewer questions.

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.
