Standard process. I applied through an employee referral. Recruiter reached out and talked to me for about 30 minutes. He was really nice and through the entire process I felt like he really wanted me to succeed. First step was 45 minute Bluejeans interview with a data science manager (2 SQL questions + 2 product sense questions). Second step was onsite at Menlo Park with 4 rounds of interviews (SQL, probability and stats and product sense). Here are some of my observations about this role/ company: 1) Everyone who interviewed me was in their 20's. If you're older, it will work against you (you may not be "fit" for their culture). 2) If you're female and/or Asian, you have a leg up. I noticed more than 50% of people on campus were Asian. FB loves Asians. 3) This role is not really a data science role. It's more like a dumb version of product data analyst. You will work with a product owner and will run queries to answer questions. Don't expect to do sophisticated modeling or machine learning. 4) SQL, stats and probability questions are fair game and if you practice and study you can answer them. Product sense questions however are crap shoot. I personally thought my answers were good but for some reason the interviewer didn't like my answers.

Firstly, the recruiter emailed me some questions, including basic inquiries about my background, projects I've worked on, and how I approach product cases. The interview process consisted of two rounds, each comprising a mix of technical questions, behavioral assessments, and product case studies. In the initial round, the focus was on technical proficiency, evaluating my knowledge and skills relevant to the role. This involved discussing past projects in detail, demonstrating problem-solving abilities, and assessing my understanding of key concepts within the field. The second round delved deeper into behavioral questions, aiming to gauge my interpersonal skills, communication abilities, and how I approach challenges in a team environment. Additionally, I was presented with more complex product cases, requiring me to analyze scenarios, propose solutions, and articulate my reasoning effectively. Overall, the interview process provided a comprehensive assessment of both my technical capabilities and my suitability for the role in terms of teamwork, problem-solving, and product understanding.
