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.
