Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta (New York, NY) en may 2020
Entrevista
Was contacted by a recruiter over linkedin – the process started with a HR screen then followed by a technical screen. The people were nice, they have fully optimized their process. BUT, I get the feeling that they are so pedantic about their questions that I feel they are optimizing for good exam takers rather than critical thinkers.

Pregunta 1
HR screen: tell us about your past experience, skills and interests
Tech screen: How would you setup an experiment to understand feature change in instagram stories. How would decide to launch or not if engagement within a specific cohort decreased if all the rest increased?
Conversation with recruiter in email. Technical screening round where they ask about SQL and product sense. Onsite-Loop with four rounds. They ask about SQL, Product Sense, Statistics, Behavioural questions. The difficulty is average.
The technical round kicked off with a design question about A/B testing for Facebook Reels, which I found engaging. Then, I tackled a SQL query on user comments and how to account for novelty effects in ongoing experiments. Thankfully, I had prepared with the company-specific questions on PracHub, and it made a real difference in my confidence. The entire process felt smooth, and after some behavioral questions, I received an offer that I happily accepted.
