I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Hyderābād) in June 2015
Interview
Amazing process.
I was sourced through LinkedIn and a recruiter reached out to me. Had a quick general profile discussion and I was forwarded for a telephonic screening with the business. In screening round, I was asked about my experience, hobbies, interests, passion, digital industry, advertisement space etc. The interviewer was really warm and pleasant to talk to. I was then contacted within a couple of days by the recruiter for an onsite interview. This was a set of four interviewers - my business manager, her peer manager in cross functional team, my technical manager and one of my peers for technical evaluation. The interview itself tells you, people are not bossy! It is important that your potential team together sees you befitting the role. A lot of behavioral questions, literally out of the box thinking was tested. I was not tested on what have I done in the past and a trust was invested in me. I was rather asked things that I do not know and how FB can help me know those and once I know them, how can they help me function better. What do I want in life, what motivates me, my short term goals, my long term goals, my choices, my aptitude - overall, I could feel the focus on just ensuring one goal, "We need to know the person we are hiring, and not just the programmer we are hiring"
Cut short -I have given interviews at multiple places including some of the best organizations in the world, bigger than this one too, but never felt this comfortable and yet challenged!

Question 1
Most of these were case based questions focussing on my mental procession and logical abilities.
The associate round was the only technical round which focussed on my querying skills, and digging deeper into one of my ex projects.
Thanks for sharing your interview experience. We're glad to hear it was so positive and that you felt supported through the process. Welcome to Facebook!
The loop contained 4 rounds. 1st was with Human Resources followed by 4 competency rounds- technical round with questions about sql, tableau python and more, second was around people managing, working with cross functional partners and scenario questions
It was a fairly decent interview. The questions were straightforward in the starting but as the interview progressed it became complex and they started talking about cases. Now what they asked were typical gtm cases
Meeting with many different groups and never could figure out what position I was actually interviewing for. I never got the feeling that anyone was excited in their position and really wanted to learn about my own experiences.
