I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2021
Interview
The first screening interview is easy, the hiring manager mainly talked about the role and checked if you would be interested in this role.
The second interview has two parts: SQL coding and Case study. SQL is really easy and straightforward, case study is hard to me as I don't have experience on the App product management experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
SQL: count, joins, avg on FB data
Case: If FB is going to launch a new feature, what should you do? How do you apply A/B testing? What would be the sample size? What metrics should you check?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
The process took 3 months .
2 screening interviews, 5 interviews and 2 follow ups .
In total 9 interviews . Two of the interviewers were very disrespectful. One was chewing gum and the other one was yawning on my face and checking his phone without even apologising . In the end , the yawing guy that happened to be a director rejected me . The recruiter took ages to come back to me and suggested me to apply again in 6 months. Do they think that every 6 months I will be interviewing for 3 months and having the risk meeting people that do not respect candidates? In addition, no one even apologised to me.

Question 1
They were open ended questions with regards to the product.
I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
FB recruiter reached out looking for senior person to fill leadership position in new office. Intro call with hiring manager, then on-site with eight different team members and more senior people. Very FB-product focused, surprisingly homogenous group who had spent most of their career at FB.

Question 1
Basic SQL joins; most questions were about which FB-specific data one might use to solve FB-specifc questions. Such as - how to optimize the newsfeed, how to promote Instagram to FB users.
