I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Recruiter reached out on Linkedin. In the call we recruiter we discussed about my background and the fit in the role. Later we setup phone interviews SQL and Coding(Python). Both the interviews focused on basics. Recruiter will send study material and going through all those practice will be good enough for phone interviews. The key here is being fast at answering questions. Looks like the number of questions you answer correctly in the phone interview is important.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2017
Interview
I had a chat with a recruiter and the phone interview was scheduled. Phone interview consists of two 45 minutes technical interviews - Python/SQL. Other reviews pretty much capture questions you should prepare.
Interviewers are nice and the overall experience was good. However, you will never hear back from the recruiter if you are not moving forward. I heard that there are recruiters doing that to save themselves few minutes but I expected Facebook would be different. If you don't hear after a few weeks and after few emails, stop wasting your time.
