Data Scientist Interview

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Negative experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Dec 2018

Interview

A recruiter reached out to me to interview for this position. The first part was an initial phone screen with that recruiter. She asked about technical proficiencies, a bit about my experience, and one business/analytic-oriented question. She then quickly organized the second interview, which was a phone screen with a data scientist. He asked one sql question and two data analyst type questions. I thought I did fine but apparently not; got a rejection email immediately after I hung up.
