Meta Content Strategist interview questions

I had a video chat with the HR rep, a video portfolio review/interview with another content strategist, I had to do a content strategy exercise, and then I was flown in for interviews and lunch with the team. Before the interviews, I had to give a "presentation" about myself, my past work and the content strategy exercise. The exercise was incredibly time-consuming albeit very interesting, and they told me very few people get through it. It's clear that they use it to weed people out who either don't want to work that hard, or more unfortunately/likely, have families, lives, etc. that take precedence over work. The presentation was also pretty nerve-wracking but almost everyone was super nice and understanding and tried to make me feel comfortable. They all had to go through it too and probably realize most people are afraid of public speaking. Each interview had a different theme: collaboration, UX writing and strategy. The UX writing session consisted of an in-interview test. And the lunch was not actually part of the interview process (Really! A friend who works there confirmed this for me; she was never asked for feedback when she took an candidate to lunch.), so it was a chance to ask questions that you wouldn't want to ask in an interview (like what is the work-life balance really like?) A few of the interviewers said some things/asked some questions in the interview that felt mildly inappropriate or at least not very professional. I got a weird feeling that a lot of the people who work at Facebook are quite smart but also pretty socially awkward, and not just the engineers like you'd expect. You also don't interview for a specific position, so it's hard to know whether or not you'll like the people on the team you're going to be on. Overall, however, the process was incredibly tightly organized, and HR was great. They really thoroughly prepare you and communicate everything. They're constantly available throughout the weekend when you're doing your exercise, etc. I also felt like I got a really good feel for the company and what it'd be like to work there during the process.

I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn who was impressed with my experience. She set up a phone screen for the next day. After our call, she asked for a resume and insisted that I shouldn’t go to any trouble as she just wanted to get me in front of the hiring committee as they had several positions to fill and needed to move fast. As I was not looking for a new position at the time, my most recent resume did not include my most recent position. I added a few lines regarding what I was doing now and sent it off to her. Then it was radio silence. After about a week, I asked if there was anything else she needed from me. She apologized for her delay in getting back to me and promised to have feedback by the following Monday. Radio silence again for 2 more weeks. I pretty much figured it was a no go, but still held out hope. I finally heard back from her with a boilerplate rejection email. I wasn’t even looking for a job. What a messed up recruiting department they have!
