I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in July 2014
Interview
I was contacted by a Facebook recruiter on 6/10/14 who asked to set up a phone interview. We spoke for about 30 minutes on 6/13. The recruiter then set up a second phone interview on 6/19, this time with the hiring manager. The recruiter contacted me after and said that the hiring manager told her that the phone interview went really well and that they wanted me to come into the office to meet with the team. She also told me that she was no longer recruiting for this division and that another recruiter would be taking over. I was invited to the NY office on 7/1 where I was greeted by an HR employee and put in a video conference room. I spoke with 5 successive Facebook employees, all by video conference with each interview lasting about 30 minutes. I sent a follow up note to the recruiter on 7/2 and received no reply. I sent another note to the recruiter on 7/15 and received a reply on 7/17 stating that she was sorry for the delay on her end and that she would follow up with me shortly, I sent another follow up email on 8/8. She called me a few hours later but I missed the call, she left a voicemail again apologizing for the delay again and asking me to call her back. I called back a few times and left messages on her voicemail. I emailed her the same day asking her to let me know a good time to call. I never received any further correspondence from the recruiter. On 8/14 I sent a message to the hiring manager through Facebook but received no response. The job opening remained on Facebook's career page until around the end of September.
