I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Sep 2018
Interview
Don't apply here if you are over 35. You will be rejected. I had a phone interview that went really well, then was invited for an in-person with a committee. Almost immediately, when they saw I was not a 20-something, the interview went in weird directions, I was constantly interrupted in the middle of answers, and one person had her head on the table like we were in elementary school. I have a decade of experience for the specific job I was interviewing for but was rejected without being given any feedback. They have hired people with almost no experience for this same position, though those people are the right "cultural fit", i.e. in their 20s. They will see a lawsuit from someone at some point when an employee confirms this. This was a very disappointing experience.

Question 1
Do you remember a time when you [something that was read from an online article about interview questions]?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2017
Interview
Applied online via Facebook Careers page (I didn't have a referral), then heard from a recruiter within a week after I applied and had a phone screening. Then, I got called to do the on-site interviews, which were 4 back to back interviews. I got the job offer the day after the on-site interview.

Question 1
How do you represent Facebook's values in your work and/or personal life?
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (Springfield, VA) in Sep 2016
Interview
I applied through Facebook online and was contacted via email in less than a week to set up a phone screen with a recruiter. The recruiter was very nice and very laid back which made the process a little more relaxed. She told me she loved my resume and actually said how excited she was about it because she felt I was an excellent fit. After a few minutes, (we stayed on the phone still chatting for another 20 min) she indicated she would contact the hiring manager and set up a second phone interview and get back with me. Two days later, I receive an email indicating they have decided to pursue other candidates. I know my qualifications were spot on and my experience was in line with what they were looking for. I'm left feeling pretty confused as the recruiter talked me up quite a bit and left me feeling pretty confident. Not sure what happened. Maybe someone internal was hired? Although it sounded like this role was new for the area. I don't know.
