I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
Phone-screen went well, and the 5 sql - 5 python round went exceptionally well. I managed to solve them all, but surprise, surprise, got rejected with that same generic bs email.
Again, no specific feedback provided cuz who gaf. I don't think I have ever been this disappointed in my life. This is the lowest I ever felt after building sand castles in the air after what I considered was an amazing tech round.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2025
Interview
First I had a phone screen with HR for like 20 or so minutes. Classic HR interview, nothing to say here. Then HR sent me some links to Meta Careers to schedule the coding screening. In this website, there was also tons of material to practice for this interview. In all honesty, if you can easily do all of the questions in the Meta Career page in about 7 minutes each, you should be fine in the actual interview. Had the interview last week and interviewer was nice and helpfull, fairly straight forward interview. I did butchered it tho, my brain stopped working and could only answer 2 sql and 2 python questions. Didn't have a chance to look at others. Funny thing is, I even did some of those questions when I was practicing and was having a hard time doing them live because I was too nervous.

Question 1
sql and python are practically the same as the ones you get as practice questions in the meta career site.
