I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2026
Interview
Got a call from a recruiter, passed the screening then moved on to speak with the hiring manager. The conversation went well and I was scheduled to speak with another member on the team - that's when things went dark. For two weeks I didn't hear anything from the recruiter who was facilitating the interview, no response to any of my followup emails. To this day I still don't know what happened. Well, guess I was simply ghosted.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Jan 2021
Interview
Multiple rounds. Screening interview by recruiter then hiring manager. Then panel interview with 4-6 people. Then presentation of case study (which had been sent a week in advance) with opportunity for interviewers to do a Q&A. Position was level 6/7.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you push back on a superior/manager’s thought process to convince them of your viewpoint?
I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Had a great discussion with the hiring manager in the first stage, seemed to be aligned on position and hiring needs. Oddly did not move on to next round of interviews.
