I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Lunch with Recruiting Manager, interviewed with 2 recruiters and 2 sourcers. Received offer from recruiting manager. Interviewers did not seem prepared. The questions they asked weren't very challenging or deep. They also didn't seem excited about working there.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2015
Interview
I was approached on Linkedin and a phone interview was scheduled with a recruiter. It was the worst phone interview experience I have ever had. While many companies have open office environments, I felt like the interviewer was standing in a crowded bar in the middle of "Happy Hour". It was very difficult to even hear the questions and then when you answered you could hear a tremendous amount of background noise and it was difficult to think.
I wasn't updated by the recruiter or the scheduler

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Dublino, Dublino) in Mar 2015
Interview
1st Round Telephone Screen (1 interviewer 40mins). 2nd Round Face to Face (4 interviewers X 30mins each). The recruiter who contacted me was excellent. Kept me up to date during the entire process and was only a phone call or email away when I had any questions. The phone interview was on my motivations and what I knew about Facebook as well as where I see my career going. The face to face interview covered working in teams, sourcing techniques, working with hiring managers, engaging with candidates during the recruitment journey and questions about how I operate on pressure. During the interview I was nervous as it is Facebook but the interviewers made me feel relaxed. They of course want to find the right candidate and they create a very calm atmosphere during the interview to make sure they get the best out of any candidates interviewing. Overall I couldn't fault the recruitment process. It is everything and more of what I thought it would be. The team in there are absolutely brilliant. If you have the chance to interview try and enjoy it. It truly is an experience and something as a recruiter that I am proud to say I have done. I certainly will be taking parts away with me to incorporate into my own candidates journey. One team, One dream!
