I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2018
Interview
two phone calls:
first call introduction
second call "technical" interview
The second phone call that was supposed to be the technical interview was not designed to screen any data science knowledge.
It was only designed to screen some trivial coding questions. No statistics, no mathematics no machine learning questions were asked.
This was not an intelligently designed interview to do screening for "Senior data scientist".
It was rather a naively designed process with poor targets.
Overall it was a good experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a list, create a new list that does not include the duplicates of the original list.
Mine started with resume screening, then recruiter call, followed by technical screening. After that was the interviews suite, that was separated to 4 interviews total. After that I would have talk with the hiring manger

Question 1
The technical screening started with 2 sql question in a specific use case. Both question are easy enough (like the ones in most prep services)
I was initially contacted by a recruiter, after which I completed a mock-up assignment. Following that step, I moved forward in the process and participated in multiple technical interviews that evaluated my skills and problem-solving approach.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Bengaluru) in Oct 2025
