I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
Conducted through external recruiter, then video chat with member of FB data team. Asked soft behavioral questions and then some technical questions about Python and SQL. Fairly pleasant experience. Probably helps to learn more about the international aspects of the data team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Easy data structures in Python, SQL query questions
Starts with a screen, followed by leetcode style SQL+Python questions, Full loop of SQL, Python, SQL plus Python and lastly behavioural round. Every round is also an architecture round in some sense.
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.

Interview
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.
