I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Salt Lake City, UT) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was really impressed with the interview process and had a great time meeting with their recruiters and members of their team. The first interview was on the phone with their recruiter. The second interview was over the phone.

I was told that the technical phone interview would be about 45 minutes, and would cover basic math/probabilities, product analytics, and coding. We never did any math questions though.
The interview itself was a pretty pleasant experience, and my interactions with Facebook recruiters/interviewers have been friendly and informative. I always had the impression that they wanted me to do well.

Question 1
There was an open-ended analytics question: What is a Facebook product that you'd be interested in working on, and how would you use analytics?
And another more specific question: We've introduced this particular new feature (it was something about friend recommendations). How should we determine whether to keep it or not?
The coding question could be done in Python, SQL, or R. It was a straightforward problem that involved calculating the friend acceptance rate over time. The table consisted of events (friend request or acceptance), date, and user id's.

A recruited reached out to me and I had a call with her. This was followed by a technical screening with a data science manager. The last step was a full round of interviews onsite.
