Meta Manager - Engineering interview questions

Facebook's interview process was incredibly pleasant. The recruiters genuinely wanted me to succeed and provided a ton of support and guidance. Top marks on the experience overall, definitely one of the most transparent and supportive interview processes I've had.

Screening call with a recruiter followed by a relatively short technical interview conducted by another engineering manager. Most questions were very open-ended. In the end the feedback was that I had impressed them, but that my technical experience and strengths seemed to be in other areas than what they needed for the role in question. This was a bit confusing as they had not asked any questions specific to the area I later learnt they considered core, one which I am also very familiar with. The cases I mentioned apparently got me pigeonholed as something else. My advice based on this interview would be to especially highlight and emphasise things you suspect they might be looking for when faced with open-ended questions. At least if you are broad enough to know more than one area well.
