Process
The phone interview was quite easy, consisting of standard SQL and some basic Python problems.
The on-site interview was pretty intense but not too grueling. It included three technical one-hour interviews covering Python, SQL, and dimensional modeling. There was also an hour-long lunch meet-and-greet with a Facebook Data Engineer, followed by a one-hour qualitative interview with a Product Manager.
