I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Call with recruiter
2 calls product sense and product execution
I really disliked the process or interview as there was no space for human connection, it felt like I was talking to robots who where just interested in having a specific answer. It was cold, awkward and honestly didn't make me want to work there. They both also complained about the lack of work life balance. Extremely aggressive and nerd culture. Def not a fit for me.

Question 1
how would you build an offline ID at facebook?
How would you decide between building emojis vs post?
Wasn't too great interviewers were consistently late. I didn't appreciate that. After the Second round of interviews I decided not to proceed. All in all terrible experience. Wish it were better.

Question 1
CV related questions for one and background and experiences
Strightforward interview, product sense, frameworks, culture fit, behavioral. Lot of pre-interview group zoom calls to learn about Meta and teams, anecdotally a lot of people in their nice kitchens and showing their back yards.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Structured interview process. Start with a recruiter call, then 2 45 minute case study interviews. If you pass the first interview, you move into another round of 3 case study interviews. Last step is transition into team matching.

Question 1
Product sense - Build a product for volunteering. Analytical thinking - You work at Instagram Direct Messages and you've built Meta AI. Why did you build it? What metrics will you track for success?
