I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Dec 2018
Interview
Through employee referral, I first had a non-technical phone screen with a recruiter. I was then asked to do a live coding interview with a FB data scientist (split screen; half video half coding). The interviewer was a nice and well meaning person (even gave hints), however I failed to solve a (in hindsight) quite doable coding challenge. I was asked to apply again in six months or so.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard SQL-style join problems with some redundant tables thrown in
The Interview Process is very structured -
First Tech Screening round - 45 mins (usually can extend a bit depending on the interviewer)
- 2 SQL Questions ( Medium to Hard ) - based on Joins
Full Loop - 4 rounds 45 mins each.
- SQL
- Behavioral
- Analytical Execution - stats & prob, A/B testing, case study
- Analytical Reasoning - Case study
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions on Bayes Theorem, Probability distribution, etc.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
