I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I submitted my resume at a career fair, they contacted me a few weeks later to have an on-campus interview. I passed the first 45-minute interview and then was called back for a second the next day. Since we had such a short amount of time the interviews were fast-paced, but pretty straightforward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One third data-focused programming questions, one third probability/math (cards), one third product sense.
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

- Analytical Reasoning - Case study
Interview questions [1]

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.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
