Hello All, I have been approached by a facebook recruiter for a product facing data scientist position in Menlo Park. I am going to have the telephonic interview with the HR this Friday. What kind of questions can I expect form her? experienced folks, Please through some light on this. This will help me in preparing for the interview. Thanks in advance. Current location - Plano Texas Job Role - Data Scientist YOE - 3 years TC - 110K
For Data Scientists- Product Analytics (if this is the role you are interviewing), no leetcode coding question will be asked. I interviewer for DS Product Analytics 2 years ago and got an offer. For phone screen, every topics below were touched a little bit: SQL, product sense, if there is time probability. The HR screen though, it’s more for them to understand your background, and share the job responsibility with you to see if this is a potential match. You can confirm the topics will be covered for the phone screen with the HR, they normally will send you bunch of prep materials.
Thanks bro!
@WrAw71 Was the on-site round more difficult or same requirements like phone screen just more questions? I interview for fb data engineer before, got to on-site and the python problems were a bit too advanced for me, the recruiter said one of the feedback was I was more suited for their DS role.
I have interviewed with FB for DS role and didnt make it past the technical phone screen. The first call with the HR included a conversation around my work experience and then two questions: 1. How would find the minimum element in a matrix 2. What would I do to evaluate amongst FB users, men are taller than women She said that she will take notes of my responses and then got back to me in 2 days to schedule the technical phone screen(45 min). The technical phone screen had 3 SQL questions, 1 array manipulation question and 3 questions around linear regression (parameter estimation, significance testing of parameters). Hope that helps. Good luck.
Weird I just got emailed by a recruiter to interview for a product DS role though?
@mbk@1ds, would you be willing to share your own interview process and experience with Facebook?
Wtf are you saying man. You have no idea about DS recruiting at Facebook do you? If this is DS analytics, recruiter will just tell you hey this is the team and role, do you need sponsorship / relocation, are you bat shit crazy? Regular HR BS. At the end they’ll sort of give an example of a case question where you have to demonstrate you can think critically and dive into the metrics (just the last 5-10 mins). There is no LC for DS analytics, it’s one case and 2 SQL in 45 mins for the first phone screen after the recruiter call.
Chill my dude 😂
