J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Menlo Park, CA) en août 2017
Entretien
Interviewed as a contractor through another company that started as an employee referral from a friend. It took 2 weeks for the process for my resume to be given to the recruiter up until I received a verbal job offer. The interviews consisted mainly of open ended questions, some scenario-based, to seek your thought process, articulation, knowledge and a meaningful answer. Of course it's all about the right fit, both ways. If I could suggest an improvement, is to ensure that the interviewer allows enough time for the interviewee to ask a fair amount of questions (not just enough time for 1 or 2); not sure what the standard is but I would have appreciated 5 mins for an interactive conversation.
Timeline:
Day 1: Resume was given to a recruiter via employee referral.
Day 2: Recruiter reviewed my resume. We had a screening phone call to go over my background and the position.
Day 3: Facebook hiring manager reviewed my resume. Interview was scheduled for the following week.
Day 8: Video interview with the hiring manager (30 minutes). Next interview was scheduled for the following week.
Day 14: On-site interview with the hiring manager and her manager (30 mins was scheduled, and it went over by ~10 minutes). I received the verbal job offer from the recruiter 3-1/2 hours after the interview.
Tips:
+ Apply to jobs that really excite you, instead of applying to anything you're qualified to do.
+ Expand your network so you can leverage employee referrals (employee referrals have helped me secure 3 jobs throughout my career, jobs which totaled 12 years of my career.
+ Ask thoughtful questions in interviews. I always try to spin at least one open ended question off of what information the interviewer provided, to display my active listening skills and interest.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Can you describe the most complex project you led?
How do you prioritize competing projects?
The process began with an initial recruiter phone screen focused on my background, product experience, and interest in Meta. This was followed by a series of virtual interviews covering product sense, analytical thinking, execution, and behavioral questions. Interviewers asked me to work through product design scenarios, discuss how I would prioritize competing opportunities, define success metrics, and describe examples of cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management.
The final round consisted of multiple back-to-back interviews with product managers and cross-functional partners. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and challenging. The interviewers were engaged and provided clear expectations for each interview.
Interview process was fairly straightforward. Recruiters are super helpful in getting you prepared for whats to come. Interviews got scheduled fairly fast, so having the momentum is great. Each interview only lasted about 30 minutes. from start to finish it took about 1 month
A multi-stage interview process that typically includes screening, technical and/or case assessments, and conversations with different stakeholders to evaluate both your skills and how well you’d work with the team and the role.
