Interview

The interview process can take 1 month (3 weeks is the shortest based on current info)

Stage 1: Phone screen with recruiter

  • Behavioural and situational questions; might follow up with a basic product sense question.

Stage 2: 2 X 45-min interviews with PMs

  • One is about product sense/design and the other is about product execution. The questions are open-ended and probe into how one thinks about understanding users, features, technologies, and their vision for building things.

Types of questions in product execution
  1. How would you define and measure success for XYZ
  2. Diagnostic questions: You walk into the office and see a 10% drop in DAU of ABC product. What do you do? (They’re looking for whether you’re able to narrow down to the root cause of the problem)
  3. Trade-off questions: You worked on product XYZ and saw a 10% lift on your top-line metric. However, there was a corresponding decrease of 5% on ABC product. What do you do?

Stage 3: 3 X 45-min onsite interviews

The onsite interview has 3 main interviewers and 3 shadow interviewers. The specific interviews onsite are covering (1) product sense (2) product execution (3) leadership & drive

Focus on impactIf we want to have the biggest impact, the best way to do this is to make sure we always focus on solving the most important problems.

Move fastWe have a saying: 'Move fast and break things.' The idea is that if you never break anything, you're probably not moving fast enough.

Be boldWe encourage everyone to make bold decisions, even if that means being wrong some of the time.

Be openWe believe that a more open world is a better world because people with more information can make better decisions and have a greater impact.

Build social valueWe expect everyone at Facebook to focus every day on how to build real value for the world in everything that they do.
