I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
The process usually starts with a recruiter call where they ask about your background and explain the steps. Then, you’ll have a technical screen—expect some SQL and data analysis questions. If you pass, you’ll do 3–4 more rounds, including:
Product sense (how you think about metrics and improving products),
A/B testing (designing and analyzing experiments),
SQL/data analysis (writing queries and interpreting results), and
Behavioral questions (talking about past experiences using data).
They really care about how you use data to make decisions, explain results, and work with product teams. Knowing SQL, basic stats, and being able to explain your thinking clearly is key.

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.
