I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2020
Interview
I applied online, got an email the same day to answer some questions on my skill. After that, I had a phone interview which lasted for about 45 mins. Some of the questions are like tell me about yourself, project you have worked on, SQL related questions with others.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Some SQL related questions with other questions.
Recruiter call, tech screen, 4 onsite interviews. Pretty standard IMO. The SQL questions were fairly straightforward without gotchas, just a couple of steps in the logic. The business case questions were also standard, not requiring specialized knowledge of the platform or the company, though I think having some familiarity with social media analytics would have been helpful.

SQL - joins, group by, date manipulation
Business case - a mix of open ended questions framed like "how would you see if xyz is a good idea" and more specific questions about metric movements and experimentation
