Average interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Meta

Interview

Interview question was about constructing a power set of N elements. I was pretty familiar and wanted to make a closed form version that would be faster. Interviewer's internet dropped the call partway through the call, got impatient soon after reconnecting, then ended the interview abruptly. Never heard back.

It was mostly consistent with what data engineers do in day to day at work. Heavy importance on SQL and Python. The first interview was with the HR. Once the HR approves you get to set up the technical interview round. In this round they check your python and SQL skills.
