I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2017
Interview
I had a phone interview with a recruiter.
A week later, the hiring manager emailed me to say she needed to reschedule our phone call. That's fine, except I never received a email from anyone letting me know of a next step or that I was scheduled to speak with a hiring manager. The hiring manager and I exchanged emails and scheduled ourselves to chat the following day. The hiring manager let me know she wanted to move forward and meet with me onsite.
A week later the recruiter called and asked for my on-site availability. I received a confirmation email for a day/time I didn't provide and wasn't available.
I contacted the recruiting coordinator and Recruiter by email to let them now of the scheduling mistake. I didn't hear back from anyone. I called the Recruiter and recruiting coordinator and left voicemails letting them know of the scheduling mistake. The following day the recruiter called back and said that it was her fault, she gave the recruiting coordinator the wrong dates. A day later, I was scheduled per my availability to come onsite.
Onsite, my first interview was a video call, but the video didn't work. I had to find someone sitting near the conference room to troubleshoot, but they couldn't get the video working. The other interviews went smoothly. I didn't meet with the hiring manager I spoke with on the phone which was strange.
I was told by the Recruiter she would sync up with the interviewers at the end of the week. I didn't hear back after two weeks.
I called the Recruiter and left a voicemail. I didn't hear back for several days. I emailed the Recruiter to follow up again. A day later the recruiter called and said she just spoke with the interviewers that day and feedback was positive but moving forward with others.
I had a terrible recruiting experience every step of the way. There were errors and mistakes at every stage. I felt like the Recruiter could care less about my experience or her job.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Call with a recruiter, video call with a member of the team, onsite with a few members. Was told decisions would be made in 2-3 days. I emailed after that and then a second email a couple days after. The recruiter emailed a week later with a generic email saying they moved forward with others. Would have been nice to receive some kind of message acknowledging my emails, even if you didn't have updates at the time.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Meta (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2016
Interview
I had a call with the hiring manager first and the a couple of weeks after i had an onsite interview. I met 4 people (including the hiring manager) and they each had a focus area. The questions were competency based. All the interviewers were very friendly. Questions were mainly about candidate experience, stakeholder management and sourcing skills.
