I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
The phone interview was product sense related plus SQL question. The onsite was 4 rounds plus a break in between. They are not trying to hire experienced data scientists but some business analysts with basic stats knowledge. No questions were ask related to how you build a model or how you lead a project. They just wanted to know if you can get the conditional probability calculated correctly.... People there told me that they havent created an ML model for months. All the questions I got asked was around there pages, likes, and ads. It really shouldn't be called a data scientist position.

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.
