Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018

Interview

The interview process was very straight forward. It started with two case study analysis questions, and ended with a coding challenge using any programming language of choice. All questions were anchored around the same subject of segmenting users on the platform .

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2018

Interview

Applied through employee referral. Interviewed over video call. Lacked experience in SQL coding and case analysis. Case was about how to determine if the feature that allows switching between Instagram accounts is a good feature to add on.

Question 1

Two SQL problems, first one was pretty easy and a simple query. The second one was: Given a table of these values with information from instragram users, how do we check for how many comments each post has?
