I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was told that the technical phone interview would be about 45 minutes, and would cover basic math/probabilities, product analytics, and coding. We never did any math questions though.
The interview itself was a pretty pleasant experience, and my interactions with Facebook recruiters/interviewers have been friendly and informative. I always had the impression that they wanted me to do well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was an open-ended analytics question: What is a Facebook product that you'd be interested in working on, and how would you use analytics?
And another more specific question: We've introduced this particular new feature (it was something about friend recommendations). How should we determine whether to keep it or not?
The coding question could be done in Python, SQL, or R. It was a straightforward problem that involved calculating the friend acceptance rate over time. The table consisted of events (friend request or acceptance), date, and user id's.
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.
