One phone interview and 4 rounds onsite interview: SQL (two questions), statistics question, case study, Facebook group related question etc.
Got feedback within a week. Overall the interview questions are at middle level.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
There were 2 product interviews and two data interviews. Standard stuff- how would you test a feature, statistics and probability, SQL questions. Monty hall type questions and some that can be solved through inductive reasoning.

Question 1
1- 3 to 4 SQL question from the employee department with join, and conditional selecting
2- Stat question(OLS, assumptions, t-test, F-test in OLS? Are they both necessary or redunt? what metrics can you use, R squared and probability, what are the problems with R2? How does maximum likelihood relate to ols? Under what condition they are the same? If it possible by adding a feature r2 to decreased?
3- Machine learning: logistic regression vs linear regression, what is decision tree, how does it select feature? How does it decide to which feature to select? random forest what is the 2 element of randomness? What is the kernel trick in SVM?
4- Given a list and a target value, how to find the 2 element that the sum of them is equal to target? Space and time complexity? How to improve it? How the dictionary works?
