I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Aug 2024
Interview
Call with a recruiter, than first round, and then final round. Final round was very strange as you had to speak for 45+ minutes uninterrupted. Many of the questions were very vague and repetitive such as "how would you define success for instagram stories". I understand interviewing is an imperfect art, but it felt like they were less honing in on some skill set and more about if you could speak in their framework
A round of SQL and product question. The SQL question was pretty simple, and I explained my thought process. Product question was tricky and open ended. Don't expect feedback for the interview.
Recruiter screen, first round, then 5 interview full loop. Recruiter for full loop felt cold and unresponsive while I was doing the interview. Interviewers would change what they were looking for halfway through the questions and didn't seem to pay attention to my answers (I would propose a solution, they would try to get me to another solution, and then they revealed at the end the first solution I said.)
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
1. Recruiter reached out through linkedin
2. Technical interview SQL + Case study.
I believe the interviewer was looking for more metrics but I couldn't provide. It was overall a good learning.
