I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
During my portfolio process, I went over by a few minutes but my interviewer was very patient and kind and asked really good questions. He wanted to know more about my impact and broader scope questions. I appreciated that he didn't get too caught up in the details but understood the larger vision I was delivering. I was rejected, but appreciated how organized the process was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was the driving force to get siloed teams to come up with this vision together?
The recruiter is very supportive. First round is a deck presentation. Second round is full loop: deck+ BQ+ whiteboard+ app critique. The Overall experience is good, it takes around a whole month
Straightforward like any big tech interview, but long and intense. Formats are pretty standardized so it just takes practice. Questions appear like it's from a bank, so if you're prepared you should be fine.

Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter. Started with the recruiter call, then portfolio presentation, then full loop (Portfolio presentation - app critique - design challenge - background). They had very strong emphasis on design craft and visual excellence. Recruiter who helped me prep was very nice and helpful.
