I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv) in Jun 2016
Interview
All around nice people and HR was excellent! At every stage they were clear and transparent.
Round 1: phone screening with basic logic questions. Checking that I knew basic probability, dependant and independant, stats concepts. Total time was 15-20 minutes.
Round 2: in-person 1:1. Product analytics case study. If we were to add X feature to Facebook, how would you measure if it was a good idea or not? A discussion ensued with each step leading to the next. Total time was an hour.
Round 3: a series of 1:1 interviews over the course of a day. Some in person, some video conf. Two case studies like above, 1 math (mostly probability and stat concepts), 1 SQL analysis, 1 SQL ETL.
I did not get an offer. HR did call me afterwards and reviewed the feedback from each interview. Super nice folk and I'm ok with their setting a very high bar to enter. Was told that I could check back next year.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
In Mexico, if you take the mean and the median age, which one will be higher and why?
Given a table that each day shows who was active in the system and a table that tracks ongoing user status, write a procedure that will take each day's active table and pass it into the ongoing daily tracking table.
Possible states are:
* user stayed (yesterday yes, today yes)
* user churned (yesterday yes, today no)
* user revived (yesterday no, today yes)
* user new (yesterday null, today yes)
Note: you'll want to spot and account for the undefined state.

Found job on LinkedIn. Applied on facebook site. Very pleased and surprised to get email from recruiter. Set up call. Beginning --first 15 min-- was him talking at me. Fast. Not interactive. Just telling me about office structure.
