Facebook Interview Questions

phone interview starting with introducing yourself followed by two code questions. The first coding question is very standard coding question and the second one is a little more related to facebook's certain functionality

I was contact by a recruiter out of the blue telling me how they are really impressed by my CV. From first moment the interaction felt very impersonal and hurried up. Yes I know you are reaching out to a lot of candidates but let's not forget you are still talking to a human. I then got scheduled for an interview which was cancelled last moment apparently because the interviewer was sick. We then moved on to reschedule. Two weeks later I show up for the (remote) interview. The interviewer was late 5 minutes and when he showed he did not really seem to bother. We then swiftly began the process. I struggled a lot understanding the interviewer accent who seemed even lazy to clearly articulate properly his words. He was talking but you were getting a sense that he did not really care if he was understood. I completely zoned out, but I answered well the coding questions which I share below. We then moved on to the product related questions which were pretty basic and what you typically find on the web. I answered, but the whole process was feeling like a disconnect and I had a feeling we were both there just because we had too. To sum up - worse interview process ever.

1. I got a call from FB Recruiter who found me through linkedin, and had first discussion of general experience and also asked 5 basic SQL and python questions. 2. Next round is 1hr technical interview, where code will be written in coderpad. Interviewer is very helpful and it is more like a conversation, rather than interview. Some basic hints for python coding is also there which you can refer in case you stuck somewhere. The questions are all available in Glassdoor here. Please refer them and practice well.

The recruiter had reached out, did a recruiter phone screen to learn about the role, did a TPM phone screen for fit and resume, did a remote full loop to go over everything else

I applied for a PM role via a referral and I got a call from the recruiter pretty much in the same week. The process was straightforward and the recruiter did a great job of explaining this to me. It was one round with the recruiter, one round with a team member, Onsite (4 back-to-back interviews), and then the final decision. The interviews went well and all the folks I interacted with were excellent, professional, and very warm. The interviews mostly focused on my PM experience, my background, behavioral, and the Onsite round had a technical round as well. The only downside was that the time between interviews for the recruiters to come back with a decision was too long and overall from the first interview to the last took close to 2 months.

Recruiter reached out. Setup a 1 hr screening interview. This was my 2nd attempt at this position. Although, I could solve all the 4 SQL and 4 Python questions (passed all the test cases) with little help from the interviewer except the last one where the interviewer had to give me the idea to solve it, got an email the next day saying I didn't make it to the next round. As they don't give feedback after the interview, it is very difficult to judge what went wrong. My understanding is, even though you have the option to run the code and see the output, don't do it until you are 100% sure that your code will pass all the test cases. Although the interviewer said that you can run queries and see data, every run you make is counted against you. I would suggest don't put your heart and soul into preparing for the interview. It's ultimately a human interacting with another human. Even if you perform well in the interview, a lot of other factors can affect your candidacy.

Recruiter call, phone screen with SPM, full loop in MPK (prior to Covid). They pay for the hotel and all expenses related to travel. It's cool to see the campus and get a feel for the team you'll be joining

Recruiter contacted me on linkedin, Asked if i would like to give interview for facebook london.I couldn't clear first.Recruiter was very professional.He shared clear feedback within 2 days and the reason why they rejected. I had to solve 2 questions in 35 minutes. As i didn't practice well, i struggled with syntax and language.And couldn't provide optimised solution for first question

It was ok very tech but ok code review and different exercises to do with very little time but not impossible to do very bad interviewers specially technical people they are manager without people skills

Super cool. Nice questions and interview , cool sql questions. A lot of time spent on product mindset and how would I solve a problem, if I was a part of team.
