I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in May 2025
Interview
Just had an recruiter call
The talk was pretty smooth. Recruiter reached out to me and checked if their interests matched with my previous experience. It was a phone call interview for 30 mins. First 15 mins was asked by the recruiter on basic details from the resume. Next 15 mins the recruiter took time to explain about the next rounds and processes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your previous experience as a data engineer.
I had Python and SQL round for 30 minutes each. The interview was for 1 hour 30 minutes for SQL and 30 mins for python coding.
Completed 5 questions each but still got rejection email the next day.
It was a contractual job , so the contractors reached out , they needed only SQL & Python proficiency. They explained the requirement and arranged the interview based on my availability.They were pretty efficient.I
