I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta (Johannesburg South) in Jan 2015
Interview
Phone call screening by HR and followed up by call with line manager. The call was fine but wasn't too sure what they were looking for and it was quite distracting to see the person on the other side of the video chat doing something else on their screen rather than listening to you speaking.

Question 1
How would you sell Facebook to the marketing execs and what is the benefit of using Facebook.
4-5 interviewers to complete the "full loop". Mostly behavioral questions - need to respond with the STAR format
Situation: Set the scene by describing the context or background where the event took place. This helps the interviewer understand the setting and why it mattered.
Task: Explain the specific responsibility, goal, or challenge involved in that situation. This is often brief—just enough to clarify your role.
Action: Detail the steps you personally took to tackle the task or resolve the situation. Emphasize your unique contribution, using "I" instead of "we".
Result: Share the outcome, highlighting quantifiable results when possible and noting what you learned or achieved. Positive results and key takeaways make your story memorable.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process was very thorough (I went through at least 6 interviews total). Most are pre scripted questions while interviewers take rigorous notes to make sure you are a fit for the role and for Meta's culture. Started with hiring manager conversation, loop with 4 people who all work within the organization - Client Solution Managers, other Client Partners, and Industry Managers. This was then followed by a pitch presentation to a panel on the team you would be likely to join. They leave room for ambiguity during the pitch process to see how you think and operate.
