I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Nov 2015
Interview
1. Had an interview in the local offices I was intended for. I showed recent projects and described the process. Answered some general questions about my design process.
2. I had a video-chat interview with a designer from Menlo Park. We analyzed together an app of my choice and found UX issues and suggested how to fix it. I had a chance to ask questions myself.
3. On-site interview (London), Had 30 min presentation about my experience and 3 projects i've done. Afterwards had 4 1:1 interviews - In one of them we had another "analyze an app" exercise, and on another one had a whiteboard exercise.
4. 2 Days after the on-site interviews I've got a rejection on basis of not enough "lead" position experience.
All in all it was a fun experience, and the people I've met were very nice.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Choose an app, and find UX issues that you might have solve differently
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.
