I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Recruiter was constantly "super busy" and after three weeks was able to get a schedule for phone/video interviews. Before hand I was given the areas that would be questioned, which was nice but ended up being more of a hindrance--more specifically it seemed like a distraction given the interviewers had their own answers/agendas in mind.
Both interviewers were friendly but felt very fake and when I asked a few questions to clarify and about the company it felt like they didn't care to be there. At the end of the interviews they seemed happy with my answers and scenarios but I was just not excited to be working with them due to what I perceived as arrogance.
The frustrating parts were the 1) slow process, 2) "you want to work here more than we want you to work here" mentality across the board, and 3)the lack of clear direction on what I would have worked on if I accepted the position.
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.
Multiple rounds across product, engineering, and business leaders. Long cycle and many situational questions..."how would you respond.." many questions about specific prior experiences in handling challenges, frictions, leadership. Be prepared for lengthy process
