I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. At the time I was not actively looking for a new job so I refused. Recruiter asked whether I would be willing to reconnect half year later. So she reached back to me and set me up for the phone interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
recruiter asked whether I want to choose sql, Python or R questions. I chose sql. 2 simple sql questions to start the interview. Lasted around 10 to 15 mins. Then
Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta

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.
