I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Phone Interview : As mentioned by many, nothing much different
Onsite Interview : Included 3 white boards + 1 behavioral
Many people have commented that onsite interview for FB DE has Product sense, SQL , and Python. However, for me, the focus was majorly on Data Structures and Algorithms, and then Product Sense.
All the 3 areas that are focus of the interview, all has equal probability to be asked in-depth. So , don't ignore DS Algorithms. There are few hypothetical questions, but those are for the end, if one complete the DS Algorithms questions first.
I was not asked any SQL questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Object Oriented Design for a data set, Data Structures : Questions on Trees.
No Questions on Product Sense, Data Modeling or SQL
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
