I went thru one interview. they asked for all information, including salary and then ghosting. Asked a lot of question on situational analisis, explained the nex steps and dissapeared afterwards.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Washington, DC) in Jun 2018
Interview
I was reached out to by a recruiter for recruiter LinkedIn message before moving forward to the phone screen with the Team Lead. That was when the role was explained to me. The phone screen lacked enthusiasm and lacked information. It did not excite to move forward. But it's Facebook. One week later I received an email to set up an in person interview for 3.5-4 hours. Once again, I had no other conversation around the role. The prep email was generic. And my schedule of who I was meeting changed three times. Fast forward to interview. There is not any type of prep of what to do onsite so it felt awkward. Especially since their "security" front desk in office was not welcoming and acted as if you should know where to go and what to do. I was walked in by another Recruiter who briefly showed me the new office. Decorated brightly but smaller than I thought. My negotiation interview lacked the proper details and the interviewer lacked enthusiasm. Basically try this negotiation problem based on math but not human behavior. The second interviewer was energetic and felt more of a conversation. The final interview was about sourcing and felt more like probing to give details on how to source and where I pull from. Throughout the whole interview, it felt more like they were trying to get information about where I work and their competition than caring about me as a Recruiter. In a nutshell, this team is impersonal and does not do their own research. Facebook would be cool to have on your resume but that's all. There does not seem to be any opportunity or growth opportunities.

Question 1
What is the one thing you could teach others that you do really well in regards to sourcing?
You have a 2 years of experience Engineer who is making $200K. Facebook gives him an offer with $140K base, 10% bonus, $10K sign on and. He's interested in base salary only. How do you sell him?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Initial phone screen with a very unenthusiastic recruiter. Progressed from this to a phone screen with the Hiring Manager, enjoyable interview and basic questions around recruitment, company culture and what it was I was looking for.
Feedback was very quick and interviews organized very efficiently at this point.
Final interview was 3 30 minute interviews onsite, however only one of the interviewers was on site, the other 2 were over VC and felt impersonable and difficult to establish rapport. Lots of competency questions
Heard nothing for a week and eventually had to chase the first, unenthusiastic recruiter down, who after a day responded by email that i had not gotten the role, i asked for feedback and she said that as a company policy they dont provide it! What a joke, at one poin they also asked me to speak to another part of the business for a different recruitment role they were so keen, then after investing over 5 hours of my time i have to chase for feedback and dont receive any!
I am happy now i didnt get the role given all their issues in the news.
My advice is to remember to treat those that are unsuccessful with the same grace as those who are, Dublin is a small place!
