I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Jun 2020
Interview
Be prepared the interviewer may start to eat his lunch when you are talking or answering questions. Highly doubted if it was a part of the interview. If you ask me to evaluate it, I would give a negative experience. I think he did not prepare anything for my interview. He probably did not read my resume at all.
When I started to introduce myself, he interrupted me at the second sentence, so I did not even finish my introduction.
When I was answering his questions about a FB product, he started to eat food in front of the camera... In the last part, after I asked him two questions, he did not give me any useful information, which made me feel that it bothered him very much to answer my questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to evaluate the impact for teenagers parents join Facebook
Conversation with recruiter in email. Technical screening round where they ask about SQL and product sense. Onsite-Loop with four rounds. They ask about SQL, Product Sense, Statistics, Behavioural questions. The difficulty is average.
The technical round kicked off with a design question about A/B testing for Facebook Reels, which I found engaging. Then, I tackled a SQL query on user comments and how to account for novelty effects in ongoing experiments. Thankfully, I had prepared with the company-specific questions on PracHub, and it made a real difference in my confidence. The entire process felt smooth, and after some behavioral questions, I received an offer that I happily accepted.
