Meta Interview Loops
Meta runs the same interview for every data role. First a recruiter call, then a timed technical screen that starts with SQL, then four 45-minute interviews in a row on video. You don't interview for a team. You interview for Meta, and you get matched to a team after you pass, so there's no easier version anywhere. Meta wants people who make decisions from data. You need SQL at every level, but the product and analytical interviews are the ones that decide the result. Being quick on the basics matters more than clever code. Most people who fail the screen were just too slow on something they knew how to do.
