      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Apr 2020

      Interview

      It was a great process. Applied through a recruiter who contacted me on Linkedin then we set up a call to chat about my experience and the interview process. We scheduled a technical round and I was able to answer 3 SQL and 2.5 python . Looks like need at least 4 and 4 to get to next round so my journey ended here.
