I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Dublin, Dublin) 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!
First round recruiter screen, talked about scope of work and experience. Second round was panel style assessing technical and behavioral questions. Each interview was around 45 minutes each. Took about a little over a week for an offer.

It was fine. I applied about 10 times, and then a sourcer reached out to me. There were several rounds of interviews, so of which had better people than others. One recruiter was late to my interview, that was annoying
