Contacted by the recruiter directly and had a chat. Chat was good but very rushed.
The process was super difficult. I know Facebook receive a lot of applications but you have to be a certain mould to work there or for them to want you.
The company brag about how good and in depth the interview process is but I felt it was pointless. You are given a task on the spot - how does that happen in real life? You are not suddenly surprised with developing a roadmap for a product you know nothing about. There is no prep time neither.
I found the process super intimidating too. Questions are fired left right center.
First process was a chat about how I would develop Facebook Workplace. I wasn’t aware I was specifically being interviewed for Workplace....
Second was telling 2 PMs about my most favourite app and why and how Facebook could create something similar. Basically you can’t, you cannot create something similar to MyFitnessPal.
I felt from the first minute that they didn’t want me and it was 2 straight hours of video calling feeling like that.
