Technical Recruiter reached out to me via Linkedin and set up a phone interview. After that call, she set up the first initial interview with one of the Data Scientist at FB for about 20 days later. I started to prepare my self for the interview, meanwhile, she asked for my transcripts and diploma and the type of Visa that I'll need. Four days before the interview I got an email that "at this time we’ve filled our headcount for Data Scientists at the level/location you are interested in, and hence will, unfortunately, be canceling your upcoming interview". I have nothing to say....
Conversation with recruiter in email. Technical screening round where they ask about SQL and product sense. Onsite-Loop with four rounds. They ask about SQL, Product Sense, Statistics, Behavioural questions. The difficulty is average.
The technical round kicked off with a design question about A/B testing for Facebook Reels, which I found engaging. Then, I tackled a SQL query on user comments and how to account for novelty effects in ongoing experiments. Thankfully, I had prepared with the company-specific questions on PracHub, and it made a real difference in my confidence. The entire process felt smooth, and after some behavioral questions, I received an offer that I happily accepted.
