Meta is highly organized in their interview process and keeps you informed along the way. I enjoyed the presentation and panel interview but it certainly seemed like one particular panelist tanked my prospects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I did think it was interesting and fun that they asked; what is something you were proud of this year? The spirit of the question seem to aim for answer that was relevant to work but also personal as a get-to-know-you question.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2025
Interview
They strategically guided me through a highly complex and detailed question related to an AR task. The question itself was long, nuanced, and deeply tied to the unique functionality and design considerations of their AR product, requiring both domain-specific understanding and thoughtful problem-solving.

Interview
*unprofessional recruiter, canceled for personal reasons twice, and ghosted me*
- Had a recruiter reach out to me about some UX RS positions
- Initially scheduled a call for a Monday, but recruiter reached out to me Friday beforehand to reschedule because she had a doctor's appointment (her only other availability was a week later)
- After rescheduling, same day of scheduled interview- I received another email from the recruiter sharing that she was sick, and would need to reschedule
- After the THIRD rescheduling attempt, I let the recruiter know that I was going to be out on vacation for a couple weeks and she said she would be happy to chat when I returned
- After returning from vacation, I sent three emails, and was ghosted by the recruiter. Received a generic rejection email a week after my last message. Incredibly unprofessional.
