Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta (Menlo Park, CA) en ene 2026
Entrevista
got a dm from a meta recruiter on linkedin. first was the recruiter screen - pretty chill, just walking through my background and ds experience. then a technical screen which was split between sql and a product case study (identifying metrics for a new feature).
the onsite was 3 main rounds and definitely the most intense part. first was the analytical reasoning round - this was pure product case work, like how would you measure the success of meta verified or what to do if a specific metric tanks. then the statistical execution round which was much more technical - brushed up on a/b testing, probability, and how to actually calculate p-values or sample sizes. last was leadership & drive, which was behavioral stuff about handling disagreements with eng or how you drive impact without authority. honestly i was struggling with the stats part and structuring my case answers earlier but i did some mocks on prepfully with a meta ds coach. it helped a ton with making my logic sound more 'meta' and not just rambling lol. also skimmed through reddit a bit. got the offer shortly after. definitely practice sql under time pressure and get your product frameworks down!

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.

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.
Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 6 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta

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.
