I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
The process involves meeting multiple individuals that have different areas of discipline or experience that they'll assess. Typically you'll meet 4-5 individuals that are a combination of team members and cross functional partners of the role. They rely on consistency and objectivity as a result of this process.
I was surprised at how casually a team of recruiters took an interview with a fellow recruiter. Given that I did not receive an offer, I suspect the decision to not move forward was made early because my interviewers showed a very clear lack of interest in what I had to say. One even spent most of the interview sending messages on his phone.
Panel of 5 interviews, all virtual and one to one. Each had a different theme, my recruiter prepped me in advance. Looking for candidates to use the STAR method and discuss past experiences.
