Application
I applied online.
I interviewed at Facebook (Menlo Park, CA) in July 2017.
Interview
One phone tech screen which covered both SQL and Python questions.
They do the best job I've seen of hosting this tech screen/interview.
They use CoderPad and actually let you run the queries/functions.
For SQL, they provide a nice schema for you to reference.
For coding (Python), they provide basic methods and reference materials for you to review if needed.
