I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
Typical meta interview process. 3 steps. recruiter screen, technical screen, full loop. The structure of the full loop for product sense, trade off, hypothesis testing may have changed. I felt like instead of allowing me to lead the discussion, the interviews felt more focused on me answering the interviewer's prompts which was a bit jarring to the flow that I had prepared. All that said, very well organized process, super positive experience with my recruiter, and overall a good experience where I learned a ton. Excited to try again in the future.
