I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2021
Interview
Had a screen call with a recruiter to go over my resume. A few weeks later, I had a 45-min call with a DS manager to evaluate product sense and SQL skills. I was told I passed within a day and then was asked to do a 4 call final round in a few weeks. The calls covered product sense, SQL, and some basic stats. The process is definitely doable if you commit to studying the materials they provide pre-interview, they pretty much cover everything you will do.

Question 1
A lot of "how would you build a model to decide what to show a user and how would you evaluate its success"
sql questions (easy mode on leecode) and business cases (whether we should implement this function, what kinds of metrics you would pick, how you would do the ab testing, why?)

Interview is really moving fast. First round is technical interview that include SQl + product sense question. Then it's final round that has 4 rounds total: SQL, stats, product sense, problem solving.
