I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2016
Interview
After being referred, I was contacted for a BlueJeans video call several weeks later. I was asked a pretty broad question, "How could we expand Search on Facebook in new ways?" and in truth I completely flubbed on the answer, and wound up giving a word-salad, garbled response. Super disappointed in my performance because it's a really valid, interesting question.
This was in part due to the fact that I had gotten sick earlier in the day, and also due to the fact that our BlueJeans call kept cutting out. We eventually switched to phone, but our connection was extremely poor and I had to run to the roof of my apartment building while answering questions to find a good connection.
I guess the moral of the story is:
1) Call your recruiter to reschedule an interview if you're sick the day of an interview and don't think you'll perform your best.
2) Make absolutely, 3000% sure that your internet connection and phone connection is reliable before your interview.
