Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
One phone screen by a recruiter, followed by two phone interviews. Final round consisted of a series of short interviews in person at the FB campus.
The technical interviews were fairly straightforward, but the more open-ended marketing and analytics interviews were a mixed experience. Some interviewers were great, but others had trouble focusing on a cohesive question they want answered, and simply jumped around with their questioning.
Some interviewers provided basic feedback, both after and during (!) the interview. However, most of the feedback was self contradictory, and hurt more than helped in later interviews. At certain points, it felt like the decision to not move me on was already made, and the interviews were just something to get over with. More than one interviewer jumped straight to questions without introducing themselves.
Advice to any Facebook recruiters who may be looking: You need to work on quality control of your interviews. The spread in interview style and quality was far to high, leaving a lot to chance.
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2018
Interview
Initial phone interview was pretty standard. I found it to be more of a comfortable conversation rather than an interrogation. However, I have not heard back for two weeks now.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Mar 2018
