I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2019
Interview
One of the recruiter reached out to me and offer a position that has limited relevancy to my current work. During the call, I raised this issue and the recruiter said it was fine since Facebook values more on problem solving capabilities instead of directly-related work experience. After the call, I told the recruiter that I would like to apply for the postion based on the context he gave over the call. But never heard back from the recruiter again. Overall pretty weird experience but the email the recruiter used to send out info of the postion was from Facebook, so it was not a scam or anything.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: General questions on my past experience and willingness to join FB.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Two phone interviews with two different Facebook PMs, one tested for product sense and the other for execution. The interviews were back to back on the same day, and each one was 45 minutes long
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you design a volunteering app for Facebook (Like Groups but where non-profit organizations can search for volunteers and people who would like to volunteer can connect, start a group or join an existing cause)?
Followup questions - how would you prioritize your solutions? Why?
You are the PM of the "share" feature(which people use to share on feed, as a private message etc.). How would you measure success of this feature? What metrics would you use and why? Out of the ones you have mentioned, which is the most important and why?
Followup questions:
1) Your team has implemented a change in the "share" and released it for A/B testing, where you realized that there is increase of 20% usage of the feature. would you decide to release it?
2) You have recently released the new feature, and you were informed by all local sites (Facebook sites in each country) that the usage has indeed increased by 20%, but the overall global data shows only 5% increase. How is this possible?
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2020
Interview
It was a good experience. Facebook lets you prepare and guides you. Steps;
1- Contacted via email
2- Quick phone screen with a recruiter.
3- Phone screen with 2 interviewers (Product sense + Execution)
4- Leadership interview

Question 1
Product sense question: How would you create an App for Doctors (and the people who feel intimidated by the idea of visiting a doctor)?
Execution question: You are just appointed as a product manager for Facebook Live; what would you do? (What would be your north star metric, what would you build next for Facebook Live?)
