I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2017
Interview
First, I got contacted by the recruiter in Linkedin. We then scheduled a initial phone interview to go through the basic description of the role and talked about my background a bit. After that I was invited to write a 200-400 words article in my language. After 2 days, the recruiter contacted me to arrange the next interview. He was being helpful and guided me through the stages.
The next interview was horrible. I was interviewed by a "senior" member of the team. The senior member was not paying attention to me and acting like don't care. Also he/she seems to dislike me the moment she saw me with no reason. Throughout the interview I thought the progress was good and I answered all the questions with valid examples. After a week I was informed not able to proceed to the next stage. I requested for feedback and it has been 4 weeks with no single reply from recruiter AT ALL.
It feels a bit unfair that the "senior" member get to decide your future when he/she seems to speak less fluent English than you and have less working experience. I wonder if he/she understands everything I said during the interview. Also there is no feedback at all so you don't know what you did wrong. The quality and transparency of interview process can be improved a lot genuinely. Strongly recommend candidate not to hold too much hope as this is not a fair game.

Question 1
Why did you apply for this specific Market Specialist Role?
It was a lot of stages and felt quite long. I feel like they can shorten the process or lessen the stages to not waste the candidate’s time. You’ll have to prepare and research for these too.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Singapur) in Nov 2025
Interview
Applied for Market Specialist role for Singapore covering the Vietnam market. Heard from recruiter a month after I applied where she set up a screen to chat. The role pays a lot lower than I expected (recruiter said 71500 SGD + 10% bonus) which was what I made as a grad at Salesforce years ago... When asked what I was after, they said the salary was non-negotiable but they were willing to sponsor my visa and that the equity was negotiable. I moved forward to the next round where the team member I interviewed with was rock solid with her personality. No smile, no interest in being there - I get it's Meta but she had a pretty bad attitude where I could sense that she wanted to catch me off guard with the 'market-related' questions. Didn't have fun throughout the process and they give you no feedback. Recruiter also doesn't really respect the timezone differences and also reschedule/was late more than once. Interview isn't as difficult if you do research into the market you're applying for and you have solid STAR answers. Overall the role is a glorified policy person that helps clean up the stuff online in their backend but they make it sound as though the role has scope to do a lot of things and have tons of impact - you won't.
