I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
- Recruiter screen
- Coding + product question screen
- 4 rounds of 1 SQL, 2 product case studies, and 1 behavioral
Overall very structured and plenty of online resources to help prep. Did take a significant amount of time though, allot a few days off work for interviews at least
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

followup: Okay let's say A and B look fine, but C looks off. How would you address it?
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

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.
