I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX)
Interview
First interview with a recruiter over the phone, then another with hiring manager via Skype-like client, then another in their office with my own phone. Met with 3 people in the office, was asked to call from my own phone to the other 2 who were not in the office (?).
Very disorganized. Hiring manager asked me to make calls to people in other offices from my own smart phone. I was asked to download apps to make these calls, which I did, and then the internal Wifi would not work so I had to dial out to them. This is a trillion dollar company on the cutting edge of technology, surprisingly disorganized.

Question 1
How was the program set up where you previously worked?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Really disappointing experience given all the good PR Facebook gets about its employee experience. Took many months, and going onsite 4 times. The final round was 8 hours, and I was told to buy my lunch off-campus. Interviewers had overlapping questions, and half of them had not had time to prepare. They also downleveled my 10+ years of experience to 2 years of relevant experience, so the final offer was a 50% paycut from my prior company. I was told that Facebook pays 50th percentile of market and it is a misconception that they pay more.

Question 1
I got asked this in 4 out of my 8 final round interviews: Why are you interested in this role?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
Was contacted for an initial screeening by recruiter, possitivie response and said would progress to next stage. Heard nothing despite chasing, months gone by. Shame really, thought the candidate experience would be excellent at FB.
