Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Only had a phone interview. Did not feel the phone interview tested my knowledge in the Data Science space and they only focused on one area of what I expected it to be testing (Statistics, ML, etc.).
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Meta (Londres, Angleterre) in Jul 2019
Interview
The first stage is a screening call with a recruiter, then there was an online interview data scientist comprising of two parts - analytical and technical. The analytical part was a case study about a specific new feature and I was asked to give possible metrics and evaluate the feature's performance. The technical part was a SQL type question (which could have been answered also in Python or R). The third part would have been a series of on-site interviews, but I didn't pass the second stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given two tables of friends and interactions on a plain text environment and asked several questions that required joining, grouping, aggregating and doing some other manipulations on the data to get the answer
One phone interview and 4 rounds onsite interview: SQL (two questions), statistics question, case study, Facebook group related question etc.
Got feedback within a week. Overall the interview questions are at middle level.
