Question 1
What is something that is misunderstood about you?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
I was brought on through a referral and the process was very standard. First, a phone screen with a hiring manager and then an onsite with a few members of the team. They're not trying to trick you with the questions. They just want to find out if you're a fit or not.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you received negative feedback
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2016
Interview
Had an initial phone screening and was told that I would hear back in a few days to schedule a video or in person interview for early the following week. After 2 weeks and no answer, I assumed I wasn't fit for the next steps. I then received an email after 2 weeks and responded immediately. Again, no response for 3 days.
I called and asked the status and was told they were working on scheduling and they would give me plenty of notice. Two days later, I was told I was scheduled for a video interview the following morning. After explaining that due to the short notice, I would not be able to go into work late for a video interview, but would be happy to do another phone interview while on an early lunch break. I was told that there's a lot of other candidates and all will be doing video so if I want to be considered I need to make it work.
I made it work and informed them that I will be doing the video interview from my phone. Two minutes into my interview, a call came up on my screen, which I immediately ignored and apologized to the interviewer if there was any information I missed when the call came up. She replied that it was no problem and we happily moved on with the interview for another 28 minutes.
Later that night I was told that Facebook passed and my interviewer mentioned that I took a phone call during my interview and that I was obviously distracted and had no prioritization.
Overall a lack of professionalism and experience during the whole interview process. I did not feel like I was a priority to them and had any value. Seemed like the mindset was that they are Facebook, and if you really want to work for them you will work around them and their needs. I understand to a point, but there was an apparent feel that candidate experience was not a priority.
