I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
I was referred by a friend that works for Facebook, who submitted my resume. Two days later, I was contacted by a recruiter to set up time for a phone interview. During the 30 minute call, we went over my background and sales experience. The second round interview was a phone interview with the hiring manager, which took about the same time. The interview was similar to the first one and consisted of general background questions. The final round of interviews took place at HQ, which was three 1:1 interviews, and one 1:2 mock sales pitch. Less than a week later, I was told I got the offer, which I was very excited to accept.
The whole process (from resume submission to offer) took about 3 weeks. I was recruiting at the top tech firms during this time and my experience at Facebook was by far the smoothest, fastest, and most professionally conducted (a pleasant surprise). It was because of this (along with the very attractive comp package) that I decided to accept the Facebook offer and I could not be happier!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were straightforward and mostly general background/work experience oriented but there were some case-based and behavioral questions about working with teams and clients. The pitch was fun and relaxed- they just have you present a deck you've pitched before and they role-play the client.
I would recommend having an upbeat, positive vibe, studying and getting comfortable talking about FB products, listening to interviewer's prompts and feedback, and trying to have a good time- the culture fit is just as important as the role fit!
4-5 interviewers to complete the "full loop". Mostly behavioral questions - need to respond with the STAR format
Situation: Set the scene by describing the context or background where the event took place. This helps the interviewer understand the setting and why it mattered.
Task: Explain the specific responsibility, goal, or challenge involved in that situation. This is often brief—just enough to clarify your role.
Action: Detail the steps you personally took to tackle the task or resolve the situation. Emphasize your unique contribution, using "I" instead of "we".
Result: Share the outcome, highlighting quantifiable results when possible and noting what you learned or achieved. Positive results and key takeaways make your story memorable.

Question 1
The experience, describe the takeaways and achievement you have done before
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Meta (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process was very thorough (I went through at least 6 interviews total). Most are pre scripted questions while interviewers take rigorous notes to make sure you are a fit for the role and for Meta's culture. Started with hiring manager conversation, loop with 4 people who all work within the organization - Client Solution Managers, other Client Partners, and Industry Managers. This was then followed by a pitch presentation to a panel on the team you would be likely to join. They leave room for ambiguity during the pitch process to see how you think and operate.
