I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
First quick skype call, with general analytics related questions + little sql exercise.
Second round in person. A round of five separate interviews at Facebook HQ in Euston, each with a different flavour, some more general analytics/BI, some more technical (e.g. coding exercise, sql etc).
Some interviewers were very approachable and easy to talk to, some others much less. There was one case when I honestly thought the person interviewing me had something against me or was upset for some reason, as their behaviour was very rude and confrontational. I am a very peaceful person usually so I let it go.
Probably Facebook asked some random employees to come over from their HQ in the US to do these interviews in change of a little paid vacation in London. I suppose some of them were affected by the jet lag more than others.
Overall it was a good experience; it looked like the day was very well organised.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Imagine we see a lot of users filling up a form but not submitting it, why would it be the case and how would you use data to finding it out?
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
- Behavioral
- Analytical Execution - stats & prob, A/B testing, case study
- Analytical Reasoning - Case study

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.
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.
