I don't think so. You need a Facebook account to apply online.

Do the interviewers view your FB account before an interview? Seems legally risky because of the potentially sensitive information (i.e. family, children, health, etc.).

Absolutely not. I asked this when I started and it's 100% not allowed.

Going to their careers page and picking a position lets you apply via form sans FB account.

Okay I did not know this. I thought it was connected to the FB account, just like how AirBnB and Dropbox require an account.
