I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
Overall an underwhelming experience. No follow up, recruiters not prepped, hiring manager late for the call then wasn't able to connect (his side, not mine). Nothing for 2 weeks. Then a reschedule email (with no apology, explanation). Interview process felt amateur like. If this experience taught me anything it was these 2 things. 1) a strong brand does not allow for unprofessional behavior and a sloppy process and 2) we shouldn't worry about FB being a competitor if this is how they are presenting!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions. Seemed like the interviewer was gathering 'how to' information for himself versus actually interviewing against the requirements.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
Recruiter reached out. Apparently reaching out to everyone with a pulse right now. Scheduled a phone screen with basic screening questions, moved to on site interview. It was like an assembly line with other recruiters waiting in the lobby for their call. American Idol tryouts. Met with 3 people and they seemed rushed but nice. They showed me all the cool artwork and food in the office. Seemed chaotic. They later sent a form rejection email and offered no feedback, which is the least i expect when a passive candidate is approached by a recruiter. You would think with all the Feels and values this company alludes, giving feedback would be standard. Nope. Its a big corporation now that views you as a moving part. They have hired some questionable recruiters and have turned it into an internal agency where recruiters are competing against one another. Thank you for showing me the good days of Facebook have passed.

How do you manage your hiring managers priorities?

Interview
Linked in approach from the recruiter saying like your profile
Phone screen with HR
Phone screen with recruiting manager
Then a very very long delay before being told not going forward...
Think possibly I was completely forgotten about
