I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I interacted with at least 20 companies in the bay area. All of them are high tech companies and some of them are unicorns. Facebook's interview experience ranks as number 1 from all of them. Period! Although this time, due to timeline issues, I have to cancel the DS interview in the middle of the process but i've been through another position till onsite. Interview process can be stressful and sometimes even depressing. Thank you so much for making the interview process so smooth and make everyone feel important, not like the other giant company that drag the process to months. I love all recruiters that I interacted through out the process from Facebook. Please give them Kudos and love. Thank you Facebook recruiting team!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just review the prep materials. It basically covers everything
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
