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.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
