I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
I applied through an employee and got contacted by a recruiter for a screening. I'm assuming that went well since I got asked to do a video interview the following week.
The video interview was with a current product manger, which seemed to be going well until I was asked to ask any questions I had. I asked a simple, basic question about why the employee interviewing me chose to work at Facebook, the response was a snicker and being told that it was a stupid question.His response was that working at Facebook is like "playing in the Superbowl" compared to other tech companies around. I wish he had mentioned the diversity of culture, which is really important to me and given all of Facebook's publicity about promoting women in tech, I was excited to interview and potentially join the company.
The tone of the interview changed when I was faced with the interviewer's arrogance because I was not impressed with being told I asked a stupid question and got an arrogant response. I was not willing to work for a pompous culture, I implore anyone with true intelligence to not waste their time interviewing there. It is a fantastic, impactful company but not worth the haughty culture.
