      Data Scientist Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      I interviewed for a data science position on a smaller team at FB (not the core analytics team). Over a 6-week period, I had a couple of phone screens with recruiters, a technical pair programming interview, and a 5-hour on-site with about 5 different people. The day after the on-site, I got an email from the recruiter saying I did very well, but the team had just gotten word that their "business need had changed" and they would not be hiring for the role. They did not even apologize for wasting my time over the preceding 6 weeks. I'd probably spent more than 40 hours in the interviews and preparing for them. I think it's pretty ridiculous they took me through the whole interview process for a role that never even existed. I feel like FB treats people like dirt because they know that they can and tons of people will still apply. Very disappointing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      General SQL, business sense, machine learning, and testing questions. Very similar to other questions listed in this section.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      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.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
