I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Recruiter contacted me about role; went through a number of phone interviews and established that I easily qualify for the work. Then, am told that it takes a long time to "learn the culture" and that it's better if I come in as an IC (at a lower salary than I was currently earning as a manager) and spend a year to earn the right to become a manager.
That's a bit of a bait and switch, don't you think?
So I declined their invitation to continue discussing employment opportunities at Facebook.

Question 1
The interviews were not difficult at all. The only unexpected conversation was the point where I realized I was being baited and switched for a junior role.
Very thoughtful process for a contracting role in a marketing function. Sharp engaged questions. Not overly laborious. Clear and relevant to job description. Did 3 rounds of interviews. No real feedback would be only criticism.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Efficient process that involved clear communication with scheduler, recruiter and then interviewers. Four rounds, each with a different topic area focus - always ending with a chance to ask questions and beginning with a bit on ‘tell me about yourself.’ Decision followed pretty quickly after the interview process.

Lots of ‘how will you approach…’ and ‘tell me about a time…’ questions.
Fantastic process to get hired at a great company, they have their process nailed and have an awesome staff to work with, it's a wonderful experience, and I loved my time.
