I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (California City, CA) in Jul 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me from my LinkedIn account. First call with recruiter for screening to make sure I am interested in being considered for the role at Meta and answered my questions about the role.
Next call scheduled for technical screening with data engineer at Meta. Basic SQL questions on joins, aggregates, group by. Coding questions were a little challenging. Questions on dictionary, lists, set etc. Interviewer was helpful and well prepared to answer any question I had. Did not clear the tech screening round.
Overall the interview process was good and both recruiters were helpful and patient to answer all my questions.

Question 1
Basics on sql aggregate, grouping, joins and for python lists, dictionary, set basics
straight forward, very helpful team for any follow up questions. Efficient with booking interviews and being flexible for what time suits you. highly recommend going through the process with them
From my experience the process is the following:
1) call with recruiter (15-30 min)
2) tech screening (60 min with live coding in SQL and Python)
3) onsite interview (data modelling, behavioral questions)

Question 1
Didn't pass the tech screening. 60 min of SQL and Python (30 min and 3 tasks each). SQL is intermediate with given schema, Python rather foundational data structures and algorithms.
