I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2017
Interview
I had a telephone interview scheduled with the internal recruiter on the 11th of December. I waited by the phone at the agreed time but they failed to call. I've tried to follow up on numerous occasions but have been ignored.
I found the experience to be extremely poor and this would certainly put me off applying for any future roles with Facebook.
Some professional courtesy here would have been great!
I was surprised at how casually a team of recruiters took an interview with a fellow recruiter. Given that I did not receive an offer, I suspect the decision to not move forward was made early because my interviewers showed a very clear lack of interest in what I had to say. One even spent most of the interview sending messages on his phone.
Panel of 5 interviews, all virtual and one to one. Each had a different theme, my recruiter prepped me in advance. Looking for candidates to use the STAR method and discuss past experiences.
