I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Jan 2009
Interview
Initially, I was dealt with by a fantastic recruiter in Palo Alto, who walked me through the process, and asked me probing questions to ensure I was applying to Facebook for the right reasons. I then went through an arduous process of multiple interviews over 6 months, which meant by the end of the process, I hadn't actually learnt a huge amount about the company, but they'd learnt a lot about me. After 6 months, they deferred my application, and put me on hold. Eventually, I got the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing technical was asked as I was a graduate at the time.
The interview process felt unstructured and inconsistent. Some interviewers were helpful and professional, but the hiring manager and one interviewer came across as defensive and less open to discussion. Overall, the experience felt less collaborative, less organized, and less candidate-friendly than I expected.
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2026
Interview
A bad experience overall as the hiring manager did not seem interested in getting to know me as a potential employee but had a series of prewritten questions that I would have to answer. The odd part of this is he had nothing to say about the answers I gave but the very second my answer ended he would quickly fire the next question. Sometimes he seemed eager for my answer to end so he would ask the next question of his list.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a positive call with a client.
Three rounds, positive experience, unsuccessful though. Nice hiring team and asked insightful questions. Seemed like would be a positive place to work with supportive coworkers and helpful management. Would apply for similar roles at this company again if the opportunities arose.
