I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and arranged a phone interview. They reviewed my experience and explained the interview process, which includes two more rounds. Afterwards, I completed a 45-minute technical assessment involving a product case and two SQL questions. I succeeded in that round, and the next step is a comprehensive interview consisting of four 45-minute sessions focused on Analytical Execution, Analytical Reasoning, Technical Skills, and Behavioral topics.

Question 1
How would you determine whether we should introduce a group video feature in one of our messaging apps?

- 2 SQL Questions ( Medium to Hard ) - based on Joins
Full Loop - 4 rounds 45 mins each.
- SQL
- Behavioral
- Analytical Execution - stats & prob, A/B testing, case study

Question 1
Questions on Bayes Theorem, Probability distribution, etc.
A friend who worked at Meta recommended I apply, which led to a direct connection with the hiring team. My interview journey included a technical screen focused on product metrics and a behavioral interview. The final round faced me with a practical question about measuring success for a new push notification feature. Funny enough, I had found similar questions in the company-specific prompt section on PracHub, which helped me approach it confidently. Ultimately, I received an offer but decided to decline it for personal reasons.

Question 1
How would you measure the success of a new push notification feature on Instagram? Walk through your primary metric, guardrail metrics, how you'd design the A/B test (randomization unit, sample size, duration), and the tradeoffs between short-term engagement lift and long-term retention impact.
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.
