J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 8 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (San Francisco, CA) en mars 2020
Entretien
I had my first interview with Recruiter in February second week. I was asked general screening questions + SQL fundamentals + quick product question about Newsfeed. Don't take this round easily, you might be caught off guard.
Then I had my 1:1 video interview with a Data Scientist but the video didn't work properly, so ended being similar to phone interview. It was a Product design round, how would you develop <fill in any FB product>, metrics, experimentation basics
Then had virtual onsite with 4 data scientists. The format and focus was clearly given by the recruiter. From my perspective I did 3 interviews well but the last interview was bad. The main problem was video conferencing, we couldn't be on the same page as the interviewer asked something which I said 15 mins ago in a different context and tried connecting it. It would have been smooth if there a white board. It was difficult for me to talk to interviewer and write something on my note at the same time.
J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Entretien
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.

Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Meta’s evaluation rubrics focus heavily on "Product Thinking over Fancy Math". Interviewers want to see if you can operate like a product owner with an analytical mindset, navigating messy scenarios affecting billions of users
