Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta (Londres, Inglaterra) en mar 2022
Entrevista
A recruitment agent reached out to me regarding a role with Meta, working on the VR workrooms app. I managed to secure an initial interview date quite quickly.
The first interview didn't go ahead because the zoom link was broken (I had no way of knowing this ahead of time). It was impossible to reach anyone and it was annoying as I set time out of the day to have the interview. No apology or acknowledgment of error other than to say "this has happened quite a bit over the last 2 years" from the recruitment agent.
The recruiter set up a 2nd interview. The interviewer was flat, stale and aloof. She had a chip on her shoulder the moment the interview began and wanted to make known that she was highly educated with a PhD in her field, which is perfectly acceptable but it felt like an intimidation tactic.
Her questions had a tone of attitude as if she couldn't be bothered to speak with me. There was zero rapport or enthusiasm.
It then took 2.5 weeks (!!!) to receive a response, after chasing it. This shows zero consideration for candidates.
On top of this, I was not given any feedback because it was a contract role.
Perhaps I'm bitter, perhaps I dodged a bullet. I'll never consider Meta again! Waste of time.

Entrevista
I never know with these interviews whether I'm being too rigorous in my answers or not at all. Some of the questions the interviewer asked were quite odd to me (maybe I was never taught this way in my discipline) so they were confusing at first and I wouldn't have asked them the way they did. Thought I did ok but I didn't advance past the first technical round so can't really speak to what I did wrong.

Hypothetical scenario but interviewer left it quite broad, allowed you to stay broad or pick a specific app. Standard technical questions: how you would design a study to understand why users are leaving, what do you need to calculate statistical power. Some behavioral questions as well: which stakeholders would you work with, how would you get feedback from them
Just going through the initial interview with the recruiter. She checked my fit with the role, verified things on my resume, and told me the following interview steps. She also asked me to specify more about skills on my resume

Any experience with the sampling bias correction? What is your level of proficiency with R or Python?
Case study, image a social media product and ask some questions on how to identify the issues. The process is about 30-35 minutes and based on the answers, they can many follow up questions on some methods you mentioned.
