I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Singapur) in Nov 2015
Interview
Was approached by a recruiter for the role. Set up a time to discuss about it. Quite disappointed with the call as she was not able to explain the role clearly. When probed about the structure of the team, she replied that she was just helping out a colleague, so has not idea about the team.
She was friendly, but other than that I can't imagine being part of a HR team that wasn't prepare and seems nonchalant. I declined to be consider further for the role.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
Interviewed with 4 individuals. Interview process very disorganized. Recruiter could not find a conference room. One interviewer didn't make it in to work that day, so we interviewed over by phone. There was general confusion as to what the essential responsibilities of the actual role were going to be and the reporting structure. The last interview, with the attorney, argued that the position wasn't really needed and he didn't know what HR was thinking.
The final meeting (with the attorney upstairs), was in an office akin to a 60's love nest--stereo, bar, cushions on the floor.
I left thinking their recruiting and interviewing proccess could sure use some refinement.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very general questions: So - tell me about yourself.....
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
Phone screen w/recruiter- lasted over 30 mins. She asked very clear and poingnant questions that I had to really think twice about. Very focused questions, clearly w/pre-thought around pre-screening. Good start, always good to see they are stringent in how they hire people.
My answer to "what will your current employer do to retain you" probably did not convince her. Got an email a week later I was not in the running.
