I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in May 2018
Interview
First i got a phone call from a recruiter, she asked a lot about my experience and asked some analytical questions related to the product. After a day i was called to come for one on one interview onsite
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
SQL and product analytics. The SQL part is easy to prepare for, what you need to know very well is aggregation functions, join and union. The SQL questions are based on a real Facebook use cases. You get a table with all activities - id, activity type, typed content, user_id and cetra. What you need to do is to write code to calculate the number of reported abusive comments of some sort, and later to provide the percent of reported content per day which are actually abusive by combining another table.
Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR
