I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Fairly standard Data Scientist interview process. Consisted of an HR screen, then an interview day with 4 different current data scientists. Each round was a slightly different focus (SQL/coding, problem solving, behavioral, etc). Data Scientists I interviewed with were of varying levels of seniority.
They did not expect me to do a take-home coding interview which is increasingly rare and extremely respectful of my time so for this reason I give them an overall positive experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a sample SQL table, write a few query to solve increasingly difficult asks from the data.
The Interview Process is very structured -
First Tech Screening round - 45 mins (usually can extend a bit depending on the interviewer)
- 2 SQL Questions ( Medium to Hard ) - based on Joins
Full Loop - 4 rounds 45 mins each.
- SQL
- Behavioral
- Analytical Execution - stats & prob, A/B testing, case study
- Analytical Reasoning - Case study
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions on Bayes Theorem, Probability distribution, etc.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
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.
