I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
There are several interviews that one has to go through in order to be considered. After passing the recruiter screen, I went through a phone screen where I had a discussion with the hiring manager, who would gauge my fit for the team/company. Once passed, I went on to a full interview where several members of the team would interview me from different perspectives, technical depth, continued cultural fit, and basic PM skillset
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A scenario where a project didn't go according to initial plan, and what you did overcome that change/roadblock.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in May 2013
Interview
1. Phone screen by Recruiter.
2. First on-site with 2 PM interviewers.
3. Second on-site with 3 PM interviewers and a Director of PM
4. I think this is not usual but I had a follow-on call with a senior PM too.
Everything about the interview process - from the instructions to sign-in to transitioning from one interviewer to the next - was done very smoothly and professionally, which made a really strong impression.
However, they rejected me for the PM role and wanted to consider me for other roles. During the transition from one team to another, things started to fall through the cracks.
Nevertheless, great impression of the company overall.

Question 1
Questions were around:
* Product operations - What are the "costs" involved in maintaining feature X.
* Data - what metrics would you use? How would you interpret this graph?
* Design - Let's redesign Facebook pages for small businesses.
* Strategy - Why do you think Facebook bought Parse?
* Big vision idea - What big idea / areas do you think Facebook should invest in?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I thought the questions asked were fair. I liked how you got 2 interviews and that it wasn't just based on 1 person's assessment. The interviewers were very nice and patient. It wasn't just 1 or 2 questions, I felt like there were many that somehow all related to one another. I was supposed to get 2 different types of interviews, but in all honesty, it felt like they were both the same - the focus is on product, of course, and knowing the data to support your decisions.
