Entry-Level Data Analyst Interview Preparation Guide - FAANG Standards
This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
The entry-level data analyst interview process at FAANG companies typically consists of 6 rounds designed to assess technical SQL and analytics capabilities, statistical thinking, business acumen, problem-solving approach, and cultural fit. The process begins with a recruiter screen to evaluate motivation and communication, moves through two technical rounds focused on SQL proficiency and analytics fundamentals, includes a take-home case study to assess real-world analysis capabilities, and concludes with behavioral and hiring manager rounds to evaluate team fit and long-term potential. The entire process emphasizes clear communication, logical problem-solving, and the ability to translate data insights into actionable business recommendations.
