5 rounds total: recruiter intro, phone with pm, then onsite loop (sense, execution, leadership & drive), and final chat with hiring manager. felt more like conversations than grill sessions tbh. product sense was all about designing in open ended spaces - got one around social travel + another on improving birthdays lol. execution was actually where they really pushed on metrics: ad revenue down 20%, what do you do? how to set targets for notifications? leadership was pure behavioral - motivating teams, dealing with conflict, coaching someone struggling. hiring manager was more culture/fit and alignment with meta’s direction (ai, ar/vr, creator economy stuff came up). prep that worked for me: frameworks from product alliance to keep answers structured, but honestly most useful was doing mocks with ex-meta folks on prepfully because they force you to think out loud clearly. overall process felt transparent, every interviewer explained what they wanted upfront which made it easier to stay calm. feedback was fast (3 biz days)

The process began with an initial recruiter phone screen focused on my background, product experience, and interest in Meta. This was followed by a series of virtual interviews covering product sense, analytical thinking, execution, and behavioral questions. Interviewers asked me to work through product design scenarios, discuss how I would prioritize competing opportunities, define success metrics, and describe examples of cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management. The final round consisted of multiple back-to-back interviews with product managers and cross-functional partners. Overall, the process was structured, professional, and challenging. The interviewers were engaged and provided clear expectations for each interview.
