Had a recruiter contact me via LinkedIn. Found the whole process very unprofessional and took way too long. 1) none of the people who interviewed knew what I was being recruited for
2) none of the interviewers had any non-facebook experience which is generally a red flag for an experienced candidate.
3) the interviewer failed me on the technical component due to an SQL formatting issue. I told the interviewer that I would rarely look at SQL results directly and always piped them through a visualization layer.
4) the interviewer obviously thought that the interview was a waste of time.
5) at no point did anyone ask me about my experience. It was always "why" I would want to work at Facebook and "how" amazing Facebook is.
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.
