Hi folks, I just got through my first 3 interviews (Product Generalist/Coding/Applied Data) for the onsite (final) round with Facebook DS Product Analytics role. I will have the final 2 tomorrow (another Product Generalist and a Quantitative). I think I did well only on 2 out of 3: during the first Product interview I was really meandering and the interviewer had to stop to clarify the question for me several times. 😔

Is this worth keep going for the last 2 tomorrow if I already bombed the first one? Does anyone have any visibility on how FB hiring decisions are made? Do you need to get a Strong Yes from all of your interviewers?

Thanks y’all! #datascience #facebook #onsite #interview

    I thought I did poorly after my first day of interviews and though the same. However, I decided to just continue with low expectations and surprisingly I actually got an offer. Might be worth trying atleast.

  • Sorry to hear. I bombed one out of 6 and waiting for an answer 😢. I’d say depends which one you bombed. If you’re applying for swe and you bombed one coding, it’s game over. If your applying for product DS and you bombed coding, probably still have a chance. In any case I’d advice to finish the loop for experience.

      thanks for replying! Which position did you apply for?

      my application is with DS - Product Analytics and the one I bombed is Product Generalist 😂 Probably not a good sign.

      Anyway I think I managed to give some answer after the interviewer tried to pivot me to his direction of thinking, but I feel like he walked away not too impressed with me.

    Give your best on the next 2. They might offer a down leveled role. You are currently interviewing for IC5 and they might offer IC4. Would be better than a reject.

    Good practice either way. You never know if the interviewer thought it went better than you
