I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Great process, very helpful HR. Meta provides guidelines about how to prepare for the interview but it takes time to prepare and answer the questions the way they want. When you schedule the interview maybe schedule to 3 weeks or a month later so you have time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
SQL and AB testing case study to improve the product.
Conversation with recruiter in email. Technical screening round where they ask about SQL and product sense. Onsite-Loop with four rounds. They ask about SQL, Product Sense, Statistics, Behavioural questions. The difficulty is average.
The technical round kicked off with a design question about A/B testing for Facebook Reels, which I found engaging. Then, I tackled a SQL query on user comments and how to account for novelty effects in ongoing experiments. Thankfully, I had prepared with the company-specific questions on PracHub, and it made a real difference in my confidence. The entire process felt smooth, and after some behavioral questions, I received an offer that I happily accepted.

Question 1
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
