I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta (Singapore) in Jul 2011
Interview
First, an HR person called me for an interview. It was standard HR questions such as
1) why are you applying for this position?
2)why do you want to leave your job?
3) Why Facebook?
4) describe your experiences
5) What is your weakness?
6) What is your Strength?
Then I passed onto a Communications person in HQ. Her questions were also standard but specific on Facebook products.
1) Why are you suitable for this position?
2) What issues do you think Facebook will face in the near future?
3) How would you deal with the issues?
4) Compared to competitors (name them) - what are Facebook's weaknesses and strengths?
The Comms person in HQ would often sound non commital and un interested. I had a feeling the entire time that she had "right answers" she was looking for and I wasn't giving it.
She also has no experience in Asia - so I'm not sure she fully understood the Asian market to be interviewing a person for this position. I wish it had been someone based here who interviewed me.
There you have it. I didn't hear back from them at all.
Make sure to read up on latest FB issues, products, troubles, etc. Good luck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What challenges do you think Facebook is facing right now?
it was pretty easy and straightforward. Had a lovely experience with the hiring manager and recruiter. Dug into my background and experience and how it was relevant for the role.
Poor. Waited ages for feedback. No communication between recruiter and hiring manager, super frustrating and unprofessional for a senior position. Lack of contact for a communications role in particular was really disappointing and had to go direct to hiring manager to get a response. Very poorly managed - heard the same from others who had also been through the process
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
On par with most other tech companies. Recruiter screening followed by interview with hiring manager then loop with cross functional colleagues. Took about 3 months but overall was a positive experience.
