I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2021
Interview
Began with a phone interview with recruiter. Went to the next steps of speaking about my design work with a presentation and critiquing an app. Two different interviews for the second part.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- How would you design this piece differently (uber critique)
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.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
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.
Typical interview process consisting of multiple rounds—Pre-screen, Portfolio Presentation, Full-Loop (Presentation, App Crit, Whiteboard Challenge and Behavioral) - Felt I did really well, and I got great feedback during the rounds but ultimately received no offer.
