I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2015
Interview
1. Had an interview in the local offices I was intended for. I showed recent projects and described the process. Answered some general questions about my design process.
2. I had a video-chat interview with a designer from Menlo Park. We analyzed together an app of my choice and found UX issues and suggested how to fix it. I had a chance to ask questions myself.
3. On-site interview (London), Had 30 min presentation about my experience and 3 projects i've done. Afterwards had 4 1:1 interviews - In one of them we had another "analyze an app" exercise, and on another one had a whiteboard exercise.
4. 2 Days after the on-site interviews I've got a rejection on basis of not enough "lead" position experience.
All in all it was a fun experience, and the people I've met were very nice.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Choose an app, and find UX issues that you might have solve differently
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
