1st round with Sr. designer
- Standard portfolio presentation
2nd round with a panel of 2 Sr. designers and 1 manager
- This was split into 4 parts: portfolio presentation, app critique, background, and design challenge
This was the most difficult and thorough interview process I've ever experienced, but it was also the most professional and transparent. The recruiter was so helpful in answering all of my questions. All of the interviewers were clear in their expectations and created a really fun and safe space. If the interview process is any indication of Meta's standards, the caliber and quality of designers are top-notch.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience did you have working on the design system? How did you work with the design system team?
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.
