The interview process seemed to resemble a marathon race more than an interview for a job at a tech company - 3 months of interviewing which were comprised of:
1. Phone interview with a recruiter from the Ireland office
2. In-office interview with hiring manager (30 min)
3. In-office interview with another manager in the office, not related to the job (30 min)
4. In-office presentation (10 min) about a case based on a potential client - goal is to pitch how and why Facebook marketing is relevant for that client. The cases were a digital bank trying to target a specific market segment and also switch clients to online banking. The other case was an e-commerce merchant thinking of penetrating a new territory.
5. Step 4 followed on the same day by an interview with the hiring manager's manager (30 minutes)
6. Penultimate round of interviews with local office's manager
I didn't make it past step 6 - after that there's a final interview with an MD of the greater area. Only one candidate passes to that round.
I had to chase the recruiter throughout the process to know if I made it to the next rounds - twice, it was when I called her that I learned I passed and she then referred me to schedule the next interview. VERY unprofessional, completely NOT what I would expect from a company with such reputation and stature. The process seemed tedious for no good reason, too many short, shallow interviews - it's as if there's no power of hiring for the hiring manager.
