J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Menlo Park, CA) en févr. 2015
Entretien
Interview process is long and drawn out. As expected, of course, for large tech companies these days. Unfortunately, data science interviews do not necessarily reflect the ability of applicants to do the job they are applying for, and do not reflect a normal day's work. More challenging questions about coding than would make sense for anyone with an analysis/stats background. Instead difficult questions should be focused on problem solving skills

Question 1

Question 1
Questions on Bayes Theorem, Probability distribution, etc.
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.

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.
