I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
1. Phone interview with recruiter. They're looking for enthiusiasm!
2. Onsite with boss and manager. They don't emphasize that you NEED to know how to code, but it certainly helps. You really ought to understand SQL well enough to do JOINS, UNIONS, GROUP BYs
3. Onsite with various people (engineer, product manager, two analysts/data scientists). Various Python and SQL questions. Was also asked to create or take an existing product on Facebook and come up with ways to drive engagement.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Jan 2013
Interview
Initial screening, almost as a pre interview. It was 45 minutes onsite. Everybody is friendly. The work area is an open evironment. There is no cubicles and offices are there for meetings or interviews, I guess. Since it was a pre screening I only had one technical interviewer who asked a somewhat complex question, try not to get nervous. They say they discard candidates based on their character, so be friendly.
