      Data Scientist Interview

      Mar 1, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out asking if I would be interested in interviewing. An initial screening call was simply to cover my background, what I was looking for and some skill sets. They asked some behavioural questions and basic technical questions. My answers seemed to go into more depth as she noted that she didnt need to cover the sql questions she normally asks. The next stage was an hour interview with an existing senior data scientist. He was friendly but we seemed to be speaking at cross purposes. His English was not perfect and his background seemed to be from software engineering so perhaps it was destined to be more difficult than it might have been. He pushed hard in a certain direction, then claimed I was going too deep. Finally, ten minutes later he came back and touched once again on the topic which confused me. Clearly he was not satisfied but he didnt reframe his question and when prompted to clarify just said "what do you think?". Had I gone too deep or had I not addressed the issue enough? Despite this, he was very friendly and was eager to answer and address any question or concern if only answering superficially. A boiler plate one line rejection email followed. No feedback is offered as a policy. However, arrogantly they solicit candidates to give them feedback. Yet more time demanded entirely for Facebooks benefit.

      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.
