Interview
1 phone interview followed by 5 onsite interviews. Both coding and product sense are tested. The recruiters provide extremely detailed summaries on what will be asked so you have no excuse not to be well prepared!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product questions that ask you how to derive a specific metric or what data you would use to solve a specific problem
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
The phone interview was product sense related plus SQL question. The onsite was 4 rounds plus a break in between. They are not trying to hire experienced data scientists but some business analysts with basic stats knowledge. No questions were ask related to how you build a model or how you lead a project. They just wanted to know if you can get the conditional probability calculated correctly.... People there told me that they havent created an ML model for months. All the questions I got asked was around there pages, likes, and ads. It really shouldn't be called a data scientist position.
