I applied online. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
email from recruiter to set up time, 30 mins on the phone reviewing CV and talking about experience and relevance, why do I want the job, why Meta. Also asked about how do I use AI in my day to day, specifically for code and what do I do when I encounter a mistake done by the AI.
Moved to technical screen, 2 SQL questions, metrics question and product sense question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All of the questions including SQL, metrics and product sense were about comparing engagement between content from friends vs. content from other sources (groups, pages, ads etc).
The metric question dealt with how would you check if the types of content behave differently, what metric would you measure and how.
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

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.
