I interviewed for Meta in 2021, the process was pretty straightforward, and surprisingly it was different, everything starts with:
- Recruiter contacting you, he/she will do the phone screening, they explain the JD for you, and then if you are interested, they will ask you to send 3 dates/time that works for you
- You will be scheduled for 3 interviews, but the goal is to pass the first 2 before you get into the 3rd and the loop round
- Once you get into the loop round, you will probably have 2-3 rounds depending on the role
- Finally, if you are selected, they will send you an offer
The good thing was:
- Meta (Facebook) now has a portal that provides prep material, they just started it, so it has limited content
- You will also be invited for a 15-20 mins Demo session and they are good for preparation
Now the bad thing:
- Your interview totally depends on the person taking your interview, sometimes you may get a person who might not even let you speak, will not listen to you, will keep interrupting you, and it happens a lot with Meta/Facebook interviews based on my experience
- In a couple of interview sessions that I had, I felt like people came with a mindset to not hire the person, in that case, there is nothing you can do, no matter how much you prepare
My experience was Neutral, I'm hoping it will be better next time, and for that, one has to wait for at least a year for you to be considered again.
