I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
Was contacted ~month after employee referral.
Brief On-Site (because I was local, mostly this is a single 45-minute phone screen): I had two 30-minute interviews - one was mathy (prob/stats) and the other was SQL.
Recruiter got back to me in 24-48 hours, invited back for on-site.
On-site was 5 interviews: 2 Analytics (prob/stats/brainteasers), 1 SQL, 1 Product, 1 (basic) programming
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If we were testing product X, what metrics would you look at to determine if it is a success?
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
