I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and via email. We set up an initial phone screen relatively quickly, during which he was friendly and enthusiastic. The call was pretty standard, with basic background and interest questions. One unusual request was for me to rate my skills in several research methodologies in preparation for a technical video chat with another researcher.
The video chat happened a couple weeks later and was a relatively standard case-style interview, where they presented a scenario and asked how I would approach it. They didn't reference my portfolio at all. Also, the interviewer was in an entirely different office and couldn't give any insight into the team or culture for the office I was interviewing for.
Didn't hear anything back, followed up, then let it go. The people were both nice enough but the lack of a reply was rude, especially when it's something that can be easily automated.

We're sorry to hear about your experience and the lack of follow-up from your recruiter. Every candidate moment matters to us and we'll leverage this feedback to improve our experience.
The recruiter was repeatedly late and they did not seem well versed in UX research. Overall, I wasn’t particularly impressed by the hiring pipeline and slow process at the company.
