I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2020
Interview
The worst experience with Facebook and makes one wonder if this is a leading indicator of decay in the company culture and company overall:
-I was told by the recruiter that I passed the interview.
-Two weeks later the same recruiter came back and said that they changed their mind.
-When I asked for a call to get details, I got an invite with the following subject “FU, 2nd rejection”.
-When I inquired about the title, the recruiter said that the title was a mistake... She encouraged me to keep applying to other positions on the call, but never responded when I sent a follow up email.
-It has been over a month since my last interview and I still didn’t get a clear response from the recruiting team on where I actually stand with the company!
If the company cannot operate a recruiting process and doesn’t treat candidates with the basic respect, one wonders if this is early signals of the scaling issues and it is now being run more as a Borg ship, where you are treated as somebody who has a number rather than a name...I am very disillusioned with the company at this point.

Question 1
Define goal for events and tradeoff for displaying events vs ads.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
No technical question from work experience. They have a very different method for evaluating candidates. A problem statement is presented and the candidate is asked to propose a solution and answer questions based on the scenario.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Meta (Dublín, Dublín) in Nov 2020
Interview
First recruiter interview done over the phone. First they send you email and asking schedule the interview date and time. Meanwhile you can create a facebook recruiter account and in that account shows all details related to your interview process. After you pass the recruiter interview then you have screening interviews with 1-3 people. Then you have final interview at the premises.
