The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2018
Interview
If you get the opportunity to interview at Facebook, take it. Not because you're likely to get the job, but because it's the best practice out there and will reveal where you're weak in your methodologies.
Keep in mind that Facebook is a massive tech company, so being selected to conduct an interview is a lot like being selected for jury duty. It's likely you'll could get someone who isn't motivated to be interviewing you and that's fine. Try to take from the experience what you can.
My interview, like most others, consisted of two remote video sessions covering my product and execution sense. The product sense interview was focused around my methodology for approaching a problem, identifying a target user group, exploring a problem space, thinking up creative solutions, prioritizing my work for impact, and setting the right goals. The execution interview was focused around identifying the right metrics for determining success, and using them to move forward in the right direction.
Facebook does a good job at trying to prep you on how to prepare, though you'll need to keep in mind that you'll be working through these methodologies in the context of a specific scenario and will likely be constantly interrupted by the interviewer's questions.
I never heard back from them after the remote video sessions.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How would you build a product on Facebook to celebrate someone's birthday?
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.
