      Data Scientist Interview

      Nov 27, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out over Linkedin. One video interview followed by on site final interviews at Menlo Park. The logistics of it all went smoothly but there were two major negative points for me: First, the job title is very misleading. This role is a data analyst with product experience and SQL skills, nothing more technical than that. They are open about this after you've actually started the process, but they still call it data scientist because it's a more attractive title and gets more applicants. But more importantly, during my final round, I literally couldn't understand two of my interviewers due to their broken English and thick accents. Spent a lot of my time and their time to throw it all away over something like this.

      Question 1

      Mostly product analysis cases with some light data processing, nothing data science related

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta (Cambridge, MA)

      Interview

      Total 7 rounds: first round for resume screening, second for technical screening, then for on-site virtual with 4 interviews back to back, then hiring manager round after team matching and then salary negotiation with HR

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Meta’s evaluation rubrics focus heavily on "Product Thinking over Fancy Math". Interviewers want to see if you can operate like a product owner with an analytical mindset, navigating messy scenarios affecting billions of users

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching. Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
