I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
1. Phone interview
- statistics, sql, coding
-For the coding portion, you use R or Python
-For the statistics portion, if you encounter questions that you are less familiar with, try to propose a more informal ad-hoc solution if you don't remember exact terms or details.
-Communicate thought process and assumptions aloud to the interviewer and they will be able to provide any guidance on expectations.
-You should have a computer on hand for the interview as the coding portion will involve using a shared screen website, where you can select and switch between any of the languages available.
2. Onsite interview
- Several case studies, one basic probability question, quick lunch
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

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.
