I applied through other source. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
The interview process was great. The recruiter gave great information and supported me throughout the journey. The interview with the hiring manager was super smooth and very relaxed. Felt so comfortable when talking to her. They are looking for fit more than skills.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Talked with 3 different Managers over their video conferencing tool. Mix of both behavioral and skills assessment questions. 2/3 went really well. One Manager got caught up on one detail concerning having too many meetings. I get Facebook is all about autonomous decision making, but this is not how you assess someone's capability. If you're interviewing for a project management heavy role, there will be meetings. In fact, it probably would have been her making them. I sensed she had some sort of bias in not hiring in the moment and used the one detail as an excuse. It's really the worst way to hire. If you don't want to hire, get rid of the posting or don't agree to interview a candidate. It'll be one less "meeting" for you...
