I applied through a recruiter. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Meta (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Just terrible. I can't imagine a worse process. All about abstract tests with no consideration as to experience or track record. Very impersonal. Seems like half the interviews I did had more to do with extracting information about the industry, often proprietary.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked for specifics on a past AI/ML project I managed. Seems like they wanted to know more about how I would handle a question they knew I couldn't answer.
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.
Multiple rounds across product, engineering, and business leaders. Long cycle and many situational questions..."how would you respond.." many questions about specific prior experiences in handling challenges, frictions, leadership. Be prepared for lengthy process
