I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Sept 2024
Interview
My experience with the interview process at Meta was mixed. While the recruiter was communicative, they lacked a clear understanding of the role and couldn't provide useful insights for interview preparation. During the interview, the questions were often ambiguous, and even when I asked for clarification, the responses remained unclear, making it challenging to understand what was expected. When I requested feedback from the hiring manager, they were not forthcoming. Additionally, Meta has a strict 'no feedback' policy, which can leave candidates without clarity on their performance.
Initial screening with recruiter, 3 x 30 min interviews, one with a peer, one with the hiring manager, one with a peer of the hiring manager. All competency based questions
Process included a phone screen with a recruiter, and 30-minute interviews with the hiring manager and various members of the applicable team. There was also an opportunity to connect with individuals in various affinity groups to better understand the culture

Question 1
Asked about experience and some behavioral questions
Overall, solid process and resources shared from the recruiter. The entire process was seamless and all my questions were answered promptly via email. Meta tends to be slow due to large company but my experience was prompt. Definitely a beacon of talent.
