J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Menlo Park, CA) en mars 2014
Entretien
I was first contacted by a sourcer for a different position, but the recruiter that she connected me to never replied my email. A few months passed, I received an offer from another company so I thought I'd check in with the recruiter again. He emailed back, but ultimately the position he was recruiting for wasn't a good fit. He passed me to a second recruiter, who's super efficient in terms of both scheduling and getting back to me with the results. It took him literally less than 24 hours from the beginning of my interview to get me a verbal offer. Super impressive.
For the onsite, there were 5 back-to-back 30-min interviews. It was quite intense, and a lot of talking. They should've fit a 5 min break here and there, but oh well. There's a few algorithm questions, stats, design, research background, etc.

Question 1
It was all a blur to me now. I don't think there was anything too difficult in particular, but lots of talking and have to focus since all interviews were back-to-back.

Question 1
Questions on Bayes Theorem, Probability distribution, etc.
A friend who worked at Meta recommended I apply, which led to a direct connection with the hiring team. My interview journey included a technical screen focused on product metrics and a behavioral interview. The final round faced me with a practical question about measuring success for a new push notification feature. Funny enough, I had found similar questions in the company-specific prompt section on PracHub, which helped me approach it confidently. Ultimately, I received an offer but decided to decline it for personal reasons.

Question 1
How would you measure the success of a new push notification feature on Instagram? Walk through your primary metric, guardrail metrics, how you'd design the A/B test (randomization unit, sample size, duration), and the tradeoffs between short-term engagement lift and long-term retention impact.

Entretien
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.
