J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Menlo Park, CA) en avr. 2026
Entretien
5 rounds total- started with a recruiter screen, a tech phone screen, and then the virtual onsite loop (analytical reasoning, execution, tech, and behavioral). tbh it felt like regular conversation and not like getting grilled, may be I got good panel of interviewers lol. They even gave hints if i got stuck. A lot of focus on how you think, not just the final answer. Metrics and product impact come up in almost every round. for prep I read the Ace the Data Science Interview book, grinded LC for the sql stuff, and used this Meta DS guide on the Prepfully (esp product analytics + execution) which had really good deep dives on the execution rounds. plus the usual scrolling on blind and reddit.

Questions d'entretien [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.
