I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
I applied to FB through an employee referral. The process was smooth, I got contacted by the recruiter which informed me of the whole process. I had to go through 1 general interest interview where we discussed my background and potential connections with projects at FB. Then I had 2 technical coding interviews and 1 technical statistical interview. The coding ones were what you would expect of a normal computer science interview but the statistics one was mainly based on probability theory.
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
