I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Mar 2018
Interview
The recruiter called sent me an email initially regarding this job. It looked very interesting. We fixed on a time and had a quick chat and he fixed the time for the first phone interview which was in a week! The phone interview went on great! She asked questions like what would i do to reduce violent and spam ads on facebook and a few SQL questions like difference between WHERE and PARTITION BY , WHERE and HAVING!
He got back after a week to me to fix the onsite interview which happened in Austin, even though my preferred location is Seattle!! They flew me to Austin and gave an amazing location to stay in 6th street! The interview was very organized! It was for 2 hrs, 4 rounds, 30 mins each! Each interviewer was very time specific!
1st round was Data Analysis based on my projects. He asked questions like how large was my data. how many people used my reports (impact)? was there any financial based results? What kind of statistical analysis did i perform?
2nd round was Technical sql. He had the table and asked me to write the query on white board! Basic joins and having questions!!
3rd round was Analytical data analysis based on FB. If there is a dip in the number of people using fb , what would be the reasons, how would u approach this? he also asked another sql question.
4th was team fit. How did i feel to make conversations with my team? How did i influence my opinion or someone else? how did i prove someone was wrong by data? Whats the best way to ask me if someone has a question?

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2018
Interview
I was referred in and set up a call with a recruiter. The recruiter called 10 minutes late and it ended 5 minutes before the allotted time, a 30 minute call condensed to 15 minutes. I understand that you are busy but be courteous. What frustrated me more was the clear lack of interest and fact that I had to push my questions into it. I didn't get my rejection email until a week later because of my "interesting" profile.

Question 1
You have a team of 10 reviewers, how do you reduce the rate of bad ads making it through to Facebook?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and he told me that they have a couple of business integrity associate positions available at the Austin campus and asked me if I could make it to the 30 min phone interview.I didn't believe it at first, thought the email was a scam .
He was really nice and sincere, and directed me to the recruiter that is going to be interviewing me. The interviewer was nice at first, introduced himself and told me that we will have the first interview in about two weeks. I acknowledged and start preparing and I even got in touch with a recruiter to ask him the areas that I need to focus on. He gave me a good suggestion.
Fast forward to the day prior to the interview , I went to the career site and it looked like most of the positions were gone and they had a position that focuses on ads and that requires an experience. I was disappointed as they have given the positions that I was interested in are gone and I didn't even get a chance to interview. Anyways, I regrouped and rearranged my schedule to make it to the phone interview.
The recruiter called me and he was more short with his conversations and I didn't feel that good experience that everybody talks about, Facebook. I answered all of the questions that encompasses my past experience and he asked me one last question that focuses on ads. I tried to answer the question logically, even if I had no experience. After that, he was more of rushing me and didn't even ask me if I had any question. That was odd to me, I have never had an interview experience where I was not given a chance to ask questions. I felt like he was thinking, well he didn't answer the last question, there is no use for this guy.
That was the worst interview experience that I have ever had, being rushed and not being given a chance to ask a question made me think that, even if I take this position, I don't want to be treated like I have no opinion and I was not going to take the position even if it went forward. My motto is,
" The way the interviewer treats you, would definitely tell you how the company would treat you."
I didn't get the position because they want an experienced individual. Good luck!
