I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in May 2021
Interview
Applied for a different role and had a recruiter reach out about this one. Had an initial call to go over what the role was about. From there I had an initial 45 minutes interview the following week. It was 20 mins behavioral, 20 minutes SQL coderpad. Nothing crazy. If you know SQL, it'll be a breeze. The next day I got an email telling met hey want to move forward to final loop. It was 4 45 minute interviews throughout the day - all virtual. One was a quantitive behavioral, one was cross functional, then case study, then SQL. The SQL was the most challenging for me because it was less testing the coding skills and more how you can answer ambiguous questions using SQL.

How would you create a prioritization system
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Four to five rounds of interview including hr. Interview asks about work examples on initiatives or stakeholder management and sql technical skills. One or two of the interviewers mentioned there are too many new people in this field and it gets hard to work with hence relevant experience in fintech or BI seems much preferred.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2022
Interview
I know the interview process takes on average 2 months, but they were able to expedite my process because they knew I had an offer in hand.
When first submitting my application, I heard back 2 days later, had my phone screen the next week, and then had my on-site interviews after that. This was for the non-technical role where SQL experience was preferred but not hard required. When asked about your experience answer with confidence.
Phone screen was casual, but be prepared to answer behavioral questions! The classic "why do you want to work here" is definitely something you should have ready on hand.
On-site Interviews were 3 hours long and had each interview focus on a different aspect. A recruiter will contact you to go over the format with you and provide a interview guide document which is what I used. Be prepared to answer behavioral questions and expand upon your answers as well as study for the case interview questions! My interviewers were fantastic and did a great job at checking in on me throughout the day to see if I needed breaks or water.
Practice mock interviews with a friend, as well as prepare and get a lot of sleep the night before.
