I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
30 phone screen, 30 min skype technical interview, 2 hour on-site interview. On-site is fast paced. The recruiter said they would let me know of their decision within a week - its been over 3 weeks and I still haven't heard back despite multiple follow-up emails - very rude :(
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product questions - determine if something if a product is successful - ask probing questions, define success, define metrics, evaluate impact on metrics systematically.
Stats questions - what do you expect the distribution of __ to look like - binomial distribution (expectation and variance), central limit theorem, repeated sampling.
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
Interview
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.
