Meta Product Design interview questions

Round 1: 30 min with recruiter Round 2: 45 min presentation and 45 min app critique Round 3: 30 min presentation, 45 min deep dive interview, 45 min app critique, 45 min whiteboard session / problem solving ----- Was told that I "passed" the interview portion and was waiting to be matched with teams. After a couple weeks was told there is not a good match currently, but that they can see me as an employee at fb, so my application is on hold for a year to see if anything will come up. So you can do all the things right and still get baited and switched... that or I suspect they're just stockpiling candidates for backfill because of the market saturation.

Interview process: - Initial phone call with recruiter - Portfolio presentation and app critique (you can pick the app) - Final onsite Structure of onsite: - Presentation - Background - Whiteboard challenge - App critique __ Process was fairly smooth and interviewers were down to earth and transparent. I was approached by a recruiter and scheduled an interview for round two nearly a month later. I wanted some time to create my portfolio presentation and prep for the critique. For the past work presentation, be prepared to talk about the data that signaled you to work on your project. Also share success metrics. Make sure to spend time on your visuals because they seem to care about this the most. I received feedback from the recruiter after round two to restructure my entire deck to show more UI. I would suggest sharing your deck with your recruiter ahead of time so that they can give you feedback. For the app critique, I was able to pick the app. Be prepared to talk about the problem the app is trying to solve and how the app makes its money. Think about what's next for that app in a year, 5yrs, 10yrs, etc. If you pass the second round, you will have another chat with the recruiter who will give you feedback on what went well and didn't go well. Don't feel pressured to schedule the onsite right away. The onsite was virtual. The portfolio presentation is 30 mins long and none of your interviewers will speak during this session. Don't be alarmed and make sure you practice presenting within this time frame. In the background interview, they will ask you follow-up questions on your presentation in addition to what you're looking for in your next role. For the whiteboard challenge, you are able to choose the tools you want to use. I suggest practicing with that tool ahead of time. Finally, you are asked to critique another app. Once again you're able to choose the app you'd like to critique. After 3 days, I received an email from my recruiter letting me know that they will not be moving froward and that they are not able to provide me any feedback or reasoning as to why.
