I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I had a weird interview process -- can't decide if I have a positive or negative image of the company based on my interviews. The recruiter was really enthusiastic in our conversations, however, he took a WEEK between all of my emails. Every one of his emails would start with "Sorry for the delay..." The recruiter bragged about how quick the Facebook interview process is compared to Google, which is notoriously slow, but when push came to shove, the FB process took months as well, factoring in how long it took to communicate basic things.
By the time I heard back that I did not move on, it had been weeks after I interviewed, which I think is very, very unprofessional.
The interviews themselves were very, very predictable. They pretty much tell you exactly what to expect. They also had Q&A sessions beforehand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Suppose you are the PM for non profits at Facebook. What would you do?
The process began with an initial recruiter phone screen focused on my background, product experience, and interest in Meta. This was followed by a series of virtual interviews covering product sense, analytical thinking, execution, and behavioral questions. Interviewers asked me to work through product design scenarios, discuss how I would prioritize competing opportunities, define success metrics, and describe examples of cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management.
The final round consisted of multiple back-to-back interviews with product managers and cross-functional partners. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and challenging. The interviewers were engaged and provided clear expectations for each interview.
Interview process was fairly straightforward. Recruiters are super helpful in getting you prepared for whats to come. Interviews got scheduled fairly fast, so having the momentum is great. Each interview only lasted about 30 minutes. from start to finish it took about 1 month
A multi-stage interview process that typically includes screening, technical and/or case assessments, and conversations with different stakeholders to evaluate both your skills and how well you’d work with the team and the role.
