J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta en janv. 2016
Entretien
1 hour phone interview: high level questions on approaching a data analysis problem
6 hour on-site interview with 6 different people
Topics included:
How have you dealt with a difficult person in your current job?
What do you not like about your current job?
SQL questions
Coding on whiteboard: solutions required using recursion and hash tables
How to communicate statistical analysis to non-technical managers
Basic statistics: solving a problem with a two sample t-test, dealing with multicollinearity
Standard questions on machine learning: cross-validation, regularization methods
More time and weight was given to programming questions rather than statistical questions.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Write an SQL query that makes recommendations using the pages that your friends liked. Assume you have two tables: a two-column table of users and their friends, and a two-column table of users and the pages they liked. It should not recommend pages you already like.

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.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 6 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta
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.
