I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview with the recruiter scheduled quickly. The recruiter was really friendly and provided some material to prep for the technical interview. The technical interview went well and the interviewer seemed to be in consensus with the solutions/answers. However, surprisingly shortly after received an email indicating not moving forward.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
I was referred by an employee. I was contacted by HR recruiter the next day, we talked for about 30 minutes and I had a phone technical screen planned and scheduled in less than 2 weeks. It was SQL and analytical questions. I had enough material to prepare sent by HR recruiter. Nevertheless I didn't do well: the question was not difficult but I was extremely nervous and couldn't think. The interviewer was nice and tried to help. The HR was fast and nice too.
