I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2024
Interview
I applied through referral. Recruiter reached out. Call went for 15 minutes. Then we scheduled the technical round.
Technical round wasn't totally difficult. We started with business sense questions. Two of them. I may have fumbled in this round.
Then two SQL questions which were pretty easy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
FB has the ‘Events’ product that shows users if their friends are going to the event, and FB wants to send notifications to users about events that their friends are going to. FB wants to test high quality notifications. What would you measure?
Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR

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

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.
