I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Jul 2020
Interview
Full disclaimer: I am not a fan of Facebook and I was not looking for a job with them. But! I was contacted by their recruiter who convinced me about "the exciting changes that are happening in the company", so I decided to go through their interview process, at least out of curiosity.
The recruiting team was very well-organized and helpful. They encourage you to watch their prep mock interviews, and those interviews looked very engaging and fun.
The entire process consisted of 3 rounds: 1) Product Sense 2) Execution 3) Leadership
The actual interviews were very different from the mocks.
My first interviewer was a different person from the one scheduled. She was also tired, mildly irritated and borderline depressed which made me question the company's culture.
The second round was with someone who didn't even show up on camera, so I was just communicating with my own visage while hearing his voice.
I was later informed that I didn't make it to the third round and I was happy that this bizarre experience was over.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design and launch a Wine App?
How would you change Instagram Stories?
The process began with an initial recruiter phone screen focused on my background, product experience, and interest in Meta. This was followed by a series of virtual interviews covering product sense, analytical thinking, execution, and behavioral questions. Interviewers asked me to work through product design scenarios, discuss how I would prioritize competing opportunities, define success metrics, and describe examples of cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management.
The final round consisted of multiple back-to-back interviews with product managers and cross-functional partners. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and challenging. The interviewers were engaged and provided clear expectations for each interview.
Interview process was fairly straightforward. Recruiters are super helpful in getting you prepared for whats to come. Interviews got scheduled fairly fast, so having the momentum is great. Each interview only lasted about 30 minutes. from start to finish it took about 1 month
A multi-stage interview process that typically includes screening, technical and/or case assessments, and conversations with different stakeholders to evaluate both your skills and how well you’d work with the team and the role.
