I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
The first round includes three Python questions and three SQL (PostgreSQL) questions, which are very tough, I think. The recruiter is very responsible and fast to reply. You can always see the interviewer via their website in advance.
