I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Apr 2020
Interview
I was asked to give a product pitch for something that was not technology. No questions were asked that were related to my background or my specific areas of expertise; this is really odd considering the role required someone with strong skills and knowledge in a very specific domain.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview seemed largely irrelevant for a very specific role with very specific demands. No tangible questions related to the actual job they were looking to fill were asked. Strangest interview experience ever.
The process began with an initial recruiter phone screen focused on my background, product experience, and interest in Meta. This was followed by a series of virtual interviews covering product sense, analytical thinking, execution, and behavioral questions. Interviewers asked me to work through product design scenarios, discuss how I would prioritize competing opportunities, define success metrics, and describe examples of cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management.
The final round consisted of multiple back-to-back interviews with product managers and cross-functional partners. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and challenging. The interviewers were engaged and provided clear expectations for each interview.
Interview process was fairly straightforward. Recruiters are super helpful in getting you prepared for whats to come. Interviews got scheduled fairly fast, so having the momentum is great. Each interview only lasted about 30 minutes. from start to finish it took about 1 month
A multi-stage interview process that typically includes screening, technical and/or case assessments, and conversations with different stakeholders to evaluate both your skills and how well you’d work with the team and the role.
