I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Apr 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via email after an internal referral. I met a designer at Meta for 30 mins before my first interview.
Screening: past work presentation and app critique.
Onsite: 4 interviews – past work presentation, whiteboarding, app critique, background.
Pros:
- I got a lot of tips from the recruiter via email and general advice before the second interview.
- I was able to reschedule very easily.
Cons:
- I could see the interviewers were doing something else during the presentation. Even though I said with accompanying slides: "When I first started at X company, there was only a logo and no design system. I initiated the project, assembled the team, etc." or "I was the sole product designer on this project", I got the same question over and over: "How much of this did you do?"
When I was rejected, the recruiter mentioned: "it wasn't clear how much of it did you do". I was really surprised.

Question 1
Clarifying questions about what I've already presented
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
