Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Meta em abr. de 2019
Entrevista
I had interviewed with Facebook for university grad data scientist position. I couldn't clear the SQL round and got rejected. I had got an email from the recruiter and was asked to fill some questions. After I completed that a 15 mins round with HR was scheduled. He asked me some SQL questions and one hypothetical case regarding my favorite facebook product. (Don't take this round very lightly I have heard people getting rejected from this round as well). After that round, I was scheduled a skype round with the Data Science Manager which was divided into SQL query and product based questions. He gave me SQL queries to write, my queries were perfect but I didn't write an optimize query which was the problem. Don't write big queries try to write optimized queries. The product related questions were quite straight forward and I don't think they are looking for specific answers. So one can just practice some questions like how will you test the success of a product? Or What changes will you propose to make the product better, etc. I was asked the usage of the status updates has decreased so how will you test that thing? Overall I believe the SQL query should be really good to clear this round.

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.
