I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Sept 2017
Interview
Phone interview with Data Scientist after conversation with HR. The interviewer was professional but did not followed the interview format described by HR - for example, I had only 3 minutes left for SQL assignment at the end of the interview instead of the announced 20. I am not sure what the skill set they are looking for - I got a feeling that ideal candidate is the one who knows FB products and industry terminology well and can type fast.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product questions heavily focused on FB products. How would you measure success of a new product? SQL assignment was to write a query which computes conversion rates for 2 products given the log of users actions with type of action for each product type.
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.
