I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2025
Interview
Over the course of three separate days, I went through a 45-minute past work presentation, a 45-minute app critique, a 45-minute whiteboard challenge, and a 30-minute behavioral interview. The interviewers were friendly and supportive, often helping by asking clarifying questions. Possibly because it was a new grad position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the behavioral questions was, "How did you handle overall feedback (not just for design)?"
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
Typical interview process consisting of multiple rounds—Pre-screen, Portfolio Presentation, Full-Loop (Presentation, App Crit, Whiteboard Challenge and Behavioral) - Felt I did really well, and I got great feedback during the rounds but ultimately received no offer.
