I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Interview process was a bit static... Lots of cycles to get to onsite interview. Too many handlers in recruiting process. Could have reduced cycles. Would be helpful, if focused on understanding candidates skill set my broadly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Non specific to the role. More personality orientated.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Initially, the interviewing process was very positive. The recruiter and HR business partner were quick to reply and nurturing, for lack of a better word. I felt really valued and that they were supportive as I went from recruiter screen to onsite. The onsite was a great experience - I wasn't sure if this was the next role I wanted in my career, but would have said yes to work with the team. Onsite was interviewing with 3 members of the direct team, and 2 reps from other teams (eng and product).
Ultimately, I left feeling like I wasn't the right person for 2 of the members, but that the other 3 interviews went well.
I sent a thank you email over the weekend and asked for a timeline update. No reply.
Over two weeks later, I saw the job description was taken down, but I still didn't get a rejection email.
Ultimately, the interviewing process was a negative experience. After committing to a long onsite that required a full day off of work, not to mention 3 phone calls/interviews, I expected to know where I stood - whether it was a flat-out rejection or standard "we're interviewing other candidates."

Question 1
How do you advocate for a commitment to a priority, when that priority is not high on someone else's list?
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
The day of the interview was very long. Interviewed with five different people who I would be working with if hired. There was a break for lunch in the middle of the process and the interview was over by 3pm.
