Process
I received a call from a recruiter in April after applying through LinkedIn.
I had a call with the recruiter to go through the opportunity details and review my experience.
I was interviewed in May and am still waiting for results.
The recruiter and interviewer were very friendly.
Questions
All the Python and SQL questions were related to books.
In SQL, there were four tables: books, author, sales, and customer.
SQL queries (medium-hard) were related to finding ratios and specific data.
Python programs (simple and logical) were related to basic data structures.
As per my experience, Meta is looking for candidates who are really strong in SQL and are quick, logical thinkers. Now I realize why Meta is so successful.
