The Meta recruiter failed to show up to screening interview that he set. We rescheduled after he apologized, but he failed to show up to the second interview as well.
No offer
Negative experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in May 2021
Interview

It seems no one reads prior responses, or they are firewalled. The process was clearly geared to identify a specific type of person.

Question 1
Over and over again about my years of experience with various sub-tasks.
Interview was a good learning experience, it was lengthy but moved quickly, everyone was willing to answer questions and chat, required a presentation with multiple interviewers in the room. they asked challenging hypothetical questions about research parameters/ethics.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta in Mar 2022
Interview
Approached by recruiter for general research positions but no one seems to really understand the differences between market research/UX, quantitative/survey researcher, and qualitative/ethnographic research.
