I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2015
Interview
First phone screen, pretty easy algorithmic problems (shuffle an array), complexity analysis on the response. Second phone interview: algorithmic problems again, a little more difficult than the first.
Third interview: conversation with one of the datascientists about basic statistical modelling techniques
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find all indices into an array A such that:
* There are three elements (not necessarily distinct)
* The three indexed elements sum to 0
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
