I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Apr 2011
Interview
Had an informal call with a recruiter that was trying to rush the process so it sounded like they were trying to move quickly. She told me the process consisted of a one on one phone interview followed by an in-person interview where I would meet 4 other employees. My phone interview was 2 weeks after my initial contact with the recruiter because there was a Global Sales Conference the following week and no one was in the office.
When I had my one on one it was with a potential peer (NOT someone I would be reporting to) She had a similar background to mine and was very polite. Questions were relevant and not too difficult. I think in order to do well here, the interviewee has to be REALLY passionate about Facebook. If they don't get that sense, they will end up passing on you even if your experience and background fits like a glove. There's tons of people that are dying to work for this company so they can be picky.
My tip is make sure you sound excited about the chance to work there. Also, I'm sure they screen your profile so make sure you hide any inappropriate pics or comments. They won't bring it up but you can't convince me otherwise that they don't look you up beforehand.
The interview process felt unstructured and inconsistent. Some interviewers were helpful and professional, but the hiring manager and one interviewer came across as defensive and less open to discussion. Overall, the experience felt less collaborative, less organized, and less candidate-friendly than I expected.
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2026
Interview
A bad experience overall as the hiring manager did not seem interested in getting to know me as a potential employee but had a series of prewritten questions that I would have to answer. The odd part of this is he had nothing to say about the answers I gave but the very second my answer ended he would quickly fire the next question. Sometimes he seemed eager for my answer to end so he would ask the next question of his list.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a positive call with a client.
Three rounds, positive experience, unsuccessful though. Nice hiring team and asked insightful questions. Seemed like would be a positive place to work with supportive coworkers and helpful management. Would apply for similar roles at this company again if the opportunities arose.
