I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
1 screening interview (coding and product sense); then 4 vitrual online interviews (product, BQ, coding, statistics). The VO interviews can be on different days. The product sense (aka Analytical reasoning?) is very subjective actually. The interviewer has a bad attitude at the very beginning, wasted a lot of time judging my experience, which is very frustrating and made me anxious.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the coding, I used SQL. For statistics, they asked math questions regarding binomial distributions, Bayesian theorm, and probability. For the product interview, the theme was related to Instagram. I asked the questions on Reddit and other website, and from the feedback, I believe I gave a fairly comprehensive answers, covering both A/B testing and casual inference methods.
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

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
The Interview Process is very structured -
First Tech Screening round - 45 mins (usually can extend a bit depending on the interviewer)
- 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
- Analytical Reasoning - Case study

Question 1
Questions on Bayes Theorem, Probability distribution, etc.
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.
