I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Interviewed for a fairly senior IC (individual contributor) role. Was referred by an acquaintance working in the group, definitely accelerated my getting an interview. Initial round was a phone screen by the hiring manager (Director level?). Next round was on site, half-hour 1:1 interviews with maybe 5 different people, including other PMMs as well as cross-functional partners (PM, Emerging business). Different interviewers were assigned different "attributes" as focus areas: e.g. Strategy, Marketing, Leadership skills. Interviews were primarily behavior-based (vs. elaborate case studies) - e.g. "tell me about a time when..." Multiple interviewers asked me about leadership style / what feedback I had gotten from team members. There were a couple mini-case study type questions (e.g. "Let's explore business issue X together..."), but they were modest (e.g. 5-10min) compared to what you would see in a management consulting interview. No group interview or presentation type formats.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
- Pick a physical product that you really like in the real world. Articulate the value proposition for me. What segments does it target? What's an example ad campaign you might come up with to market it?
- Let's explore business issue X together. What kind of framework would you come up with to structure the problem, and then prioritize the opportunities?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Singapur) in Jun 2016
Interview
30-minute phone screening interview and a face-to-face interview.
The process was a joke. For the phone screen, I was asked to dial in to a common number. Interviewer did not show up. Claimed that he dialed in too and did not find me.
Subsequent interview proceeded as planned. Then had a decent 1-on-1 with the hiring manager. After 2 months of no news, I enquired on the outcome. Was told that they decided to change the job scope of the vacancy and hired someone else.
