I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Having been contacted by Meta (and interviewed for them) 3 times in 4 years for the same role, you'd have thought I'd have some idea of what they were looking for. But then, that kinda assumes they have an idea of what they're looking for. Each interview has been just a bit off. Questions quite often feel like a trap and there's very little back and forth between candidates and hiring managers. Hard to build rapport or get into the details of what you do/how you work. It feels like a very corporate tick-boxing exercise. It gives the impression that the recruitment game is to 'stack em high' from Talent Acquisition so that hiring managers have to filter large volumes of candidates. Almost everyone I've met seems disinterested and a long way from loving what they do. A reliance on the brand name also comes through in swathes. Quite a 'you'd be lucky to work here' attitude which is just off putting. The whole process lacked a sense of honesty and authenticity about expectations or the reality of the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your leadership style/management philosophy
Meta used to offer the BEST recruitment process, but things have changed. Interview process was alright, felt more transactional (and less personal) than before. No interview feedback was given and the recruiter was uncontactable after that.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
Prepare slides with an introduction, a ten minute presentation on a content project you've worked on and a five minute presentation on a visual that moved a project forward. Then around 25 minutes on critiquing a product flow. The interview itself wasn't hard, but I was off my game for the product crit.

Lots of work, really incredible and interested interviewers. The interview process is mapped out transparently and structured in a way to help set you up for success. My recruiter was a phenomenal human being.
