I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Recruiter screen > tech screen > 4 tech sessions at remote "onsite", all 30/45 min
Tech screen: product sense about metric movement and SQL
On-site: intermediate to advanced SQL, some statistics and probability in one session, and one very open ended product sense question about how to find and estimate the impact of fake news. Must have detailed answers for all questions - high level won't pass.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you estimate how much fake news is on FB? How would you estimate it's impact?
Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR

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

- 2 SQL Questions ( Medium to Hard ) - based on Joins
Full Loop - 4 rounds 45 mins each.
- SQL
- Behavioral

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.
