Very fast, but unorganized in my scenario. I flew to Austin texas, and ended up meeting with only 2 people on site and then had 2 remote but onsite interviews
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Compared to the other FANG companies and other tech companies, Facebook is by far the snobbiest company I ever interacted with. I should have know because they were snobby at the women at tech conference I attended earlier this year in San Jose as many attendees I know mentioned that they felt that way too. The recruiters are extremely inexperienced and immature and as someone else pointed out online “They think it’s a privilege they even took the time to talk to you.” Google, Apple, Amazon are WAY more pleasant to interact with and needless to say I’m happy FB did not move forward with me as I’m going with another company. They have inexperienced recruiters and managers making hiring decisions no wonder the company is going down the toilet and Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel are selling so many of their shares. Recruiter was late to my phone screen and I was told after my interview that I would hear back in 3 days because I had an “interesting” background. Didn’t hear anything at all. Then when I followed up almost 2 weeks later was told that there was a lot of competition for position so they would keep my in mind for other positions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell my why you are looking for a job now? Why Facebook? Many people are applying for this position.
I was attending a career fair that was on a Friday. I had submitted my resume to an online database for the fair three weeks prior. Two days before the fair I received an email from Facebook that said they would review my information and connect me with the hiring manager who would be at the event to discuss my background, interests, and the roles.
At the career fair I was set up with a 30 minute interview. There were six interviews going on at a time and they were doing interviews from 9am to 5pm. I have no clue how many positions they were interviewing for or how many people they would take. They said that if things went well they would me to interview onsite in the Bay Area with the team. If that happens then there'd be a separate prep call.
