      Data Engineer Interview

      20 Jan 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Menlo Park, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      The interview has two main parts a phone screen and an longer in person interview section full of longer questions. The phone interview is pretty standard 1 hour, half SQL questions and half generic programming questions, follow the advice of the recruiter to prepare for these. The name of the game is being quick, the more questions you see the better off you will be. The in person interview will consist of 3 problem solving interviews, in my experience you will be given a scenario of a data engineering problem (i.e how to be identify the metrics for performance for this specific feature) and you will be expected to write SQL and actual code for the context of the problem itself. There will also be a more standard behavioural interview portion, asking you about your work experience, how you deal with interpersonal problems that sort of thing. Finally there will be a casual lunch conversation where you can ask about the work culture and other day to day questions. The interview was long but the questions were not unfair I think, and weren't your generic data structures and algorithm questions. The interviewers themselves were very respectful and helpful and nice. I was sick the day of the interview and they allowed me to take quick breaks when needed. Overall it was a pleasant process, no tricks to the interview you just have to prepare!
