Data Scientist Interview @ Facebook
Any advice from current, former, or managers of FB data scientists? This role sounds like a “Data Scientist, Analytics” role. It’s in “growth”, not sure what that means.

Hey Pintrest - Do you work in the pintrestt growth team. I just saw a YouTube video of the experiment idea framework u guys use and thought that was sick.

If it has “Analytics” appended to the data scientist title (as opposed to core), then you basically run a lot of sql commands all day and report analytics to cross functional partners. As far as I know, no ml. Not sure if it’s different for Growth, but probably the same. I interviewed but never got past onsite, so take my advice w a grain of salt but definitely master your statistical theory (like everything you learn in your intro level stats classes in college + AB testing), SQL (practice a lot), and some leetcode
