I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Each interviewer focused on a different theme: (1) Inbound - assess & communicate on tough problems (2) relational - assess ambiguous opportunities & drive decisions by convincing others (3) cross functional - interact across teams, to influence stake holders / executives who have different POVs & agendas to arrive at the right decision (4) outbound - enable sales and revenue, how do i position & market a product. what's the bigger picture.
This particular group cared less about my specific knowledge of FB's strategy and vision, and more how i thought about the industry and how the competition works. Questions were heavily focused on my own experience and how they relate to the above 4 themes.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Jakarta) in Feb 2015
Interview
I did 6 interviews over the span of 1 month and a half from initial phone screen to the final interview. The recruiting team was very facilitative and helped move me through the process as smoothly as they could. All hiring managers were really smart and were very friendly. They asked broad enough questions to get any candidate thinking while still being relevant within the scope of the interview. They also replied respectfully when asked questions at the end of the session. It was overall a gratifying experience even if I don't end up working for them

Question 1

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter after I applied online. Very prompt recruiter with excellent turnaround time. After one telephonic interview with the hiring manager, I was called onsite for a set of 4 interviews with hiring manager, the head of department, one colleague and one more person.
Great set of interviews and very smart conversations. Questions were centered around the industry, how will I add value. Questions probing past experience and how that can be applied to the new role. I would suggest to do some good research about all Facebook products as that really helps.
I was contacted after the onsite to have a final video call with some colleagues but I had two offers in hand, so I said no. My choice was dictated also by my personal situation else I would have definitely considered Facebook as my first choice.
