Meta's Data Scientist interview process at entry level consists of 6 rounds designed to assess technical proficiency, analytical thinking, statistical reasoning, and cultural fit. The process begins with a recruiter screening call, followed by a remote SQL and behavioral assessment, and concludes with a full-day on-site evaluation across four distinct interview rounds: Technical Skills, Analytical Execution, Analytical Reasoning, and Behavioral. Each round targets specific competencies required for the role, with emphasis on SQL query writing, statistical knowledge, product metric understanding, experiment design, and communication of insights to non-technical stakeholders.
