The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
1 day phone interview, 2 days on-site
prepared ideas/sketches for new product ideas
some interviewers were open/willing to listen to background & ideas, while others seemed disinterested and had their own point of view to push
background or experience is NOT valued
reviewed, in-depth current product offering and suggested improvements, but it never came off as valuable to them, just whether or not it fit with the Facebook stance
It was really straightforward based off of what others have been saying. There was the standard recruiter interview, product design, and analytics rounds. I didnt make it past the product design.

Question 1
How would you design a meta product for the World Cup
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
