Interview
Applied online. Recruiter reached out to me 3 weeks later. I had a strong background so I skipped the recruiter call and spoke to the hiring manager directly. Recruiter was nice I give them an A. They kept having to find a different interviewer and I had to accommodate. The hiring manager gets an F. The line of questioning was extremely poor, not sure if they ever interviewed before. They weren’t even looking to help, seemed lost and disinterested. They actually didn’t even know how to answer my questions at the end. I expected much better from Facebook.
Applied and got an email for a phone screen. Thought the phone screen went well. The call took about 30 minutes and it was the standard questions. Got a rejection the next day
It’s like a stripped down version of a PM interview. Focus on prioritization questions and teamwork questions. Easy SQL question. “How would you design a queue system for a restaurant?”

Interview
Interview was okay in difficulty. The annoying thing was that everyone was reading a script word for word. Like literally you can see them read the script during the interview. The interviewers didn't have the ability to articulate their own thoughts, just stuck to the script. Sometimes my responses already addressed what their script's follow up question asked..and yet they asked it again and it made things really awkward. Avoided a bullet though as this company is now on its way to self-destruct.

Question 1
SQL test, a lot of 'tell me about a time when' questions, and projects you've worked on
