I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Aug 2017
Interview
HR found my profile in Linked in and called up for a discussion. There was the usual background discussion and very simple sql questions. Then they scheduled a phone screen for a sql and python interview. They gave some prep materials as well. In the phone screen, it was all coding. I had assumed it would be a combination of sql and python but it wasnt. I didnt move past this stage.

Begins with an application review and recruiter screening, followed by a technical phone interview that assesses SQL, data modeling, data warehousing, ETL processes, and coding skills in languages such as Python or Java. Successful candidates then proceed to onsite or virtual interviews, which include multiple rounds covering coding, system design, data architecture, problem solving, and behavioral questions.

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY)

Prepare technical concepts, and practice previously asked questions as much as you can find online. 4 rounds in the total process. It's easy as long as you just practice a LOT.
