I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta (Washington, DC) in Jun 2018
Interview
I applied via the web site in December of 2017, finally contacted in April of 2018. I did a phone interview with the recruiter, then a video interview with one of the team members about a week later. It took a couple of weeks to get feedback from that, but I got a third round on-site interview in early June. The job is focused on geo-strategic threats from national state actors that use the Facebook platform to achieve their goals. I have the geo-strategic background, but not enough of the technical, data science background, at least for the time being. The team expansion is new so they needed more technical skills.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The most difficult questions (for me) were about how to use the data Facebook has access to to determine when a particular nation state actor was using the platform to influence another population.
