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.

Question 1
SQL on books, authors and sales. Questions involving JOIN, GROUP BY etc etc.
Python involves mostly around usage of dictionaries
Begins with an application review and recruiter screening, followed by a technical phone interview that assesses SQL, data modeling, data warehousing, ETL processes, and coding skills in languages such as Python or Java. Successful candidates then proceed to onsite or virtual interviews, which include multiple rounds covering coding, system design, data architecture, problem solving, and behavioral questions.

Prepare technical concepts, and practice previously asked questions as much as you can find online. 4 rounds in the total process. It's easy as long as you just practice a LOT.
