I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2024
Interview
1. Phone screen asking basic interest question.
2. Technical Screening: SQL and Python questions. First question for each were fairly easy. Second one was substantially more difficult, which in hindsight, were still very doable but under pressure, it's always a little more difficult.

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.
