      Data Scientist - Analytics Interview

      Aug 10, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Menlo Park, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      Basic email questionnaire, followed by recruiter phone call, followed by off-site coding challenge online. The data challenge prep email was very misleading, though I doubt intentionally. You're given the option of doing the challenge in SQL, Python, or R. Under each language, there is a list of topics to study for the challenge. In my case, I selected Python. The topics to study were mostly algorithmic, very comp. sci. type questions (sorting algos, data structures, etc). However, the actual challenge was SQL table manipulation. This is not surprising at all given the position and job description, but was surprising given the prep material for the challenge. I immediately told the interviewer I wanted to do the challenge in SQL since it was a SQL problem. I ended up slowly piecing together the solution in the end, but I don't think my pace reflected well. In the end, I didn't move on to the next round. I have nothing against the question or the challenge. However, the prep material I was given was misled me into studying the wrong material, and had I just practiced SQL problems I might have performed better.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Firstly, the recruiter emailed me some questions, including basic inquiries about my background, projects I've worked on, and how I approach product cases. The interview process consisted of two rounds, each comprising a mix of technical questions, behavioral assessments, and product case studies. In the initial round, the focus was on technical proficiency, evaluating my knowledge and skills relevant to the role. This involved discussing past projects in detail, demonstrating problem-solving abilities, and assessing my understanding of key concepts within the field. The second round delved deeper into behavioral questions, aiming to gauge my interpersonal skills, communication abilities, and how I approach challenges in a team environment. Additionally, I was presented with more complex product cases, requiring me to analyze scenarios, propose solutions, and articulate my reasoning effectively. Overall, the interview process provided a comprehensive assessment of both my technical capabilities and my suitability for the role in terms of teamwork, problem-solving, and product understanding.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Some python and sql questions. Some product cases, for example, they launched reel, but the time spent decreased. they asked you to provide reason and solution.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      The first section of the interview was a case analysis, and the second section of the interview covered two SQL questions. The SQL questions were quite similar to Leetcode's "medium" difficulty questions – I would recommend using Leetcode to prepare for your Facebook DS/Analytics interviews!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Two SQL questions and one case question.
