Interview
I applied online for the role of Account Manager (International). After a few weeks, I was invited to a phone interview, which went quite smoothly (typical questions about my background). Then, I was invited to take a language test and to record myself answering 4 questions. Then, the process stopped for over a month due to an internal restructuring. When the process resumed, it had been handed over to a different interviewer, to whom my CV was passed on. This next interviewer contacted me in order to arrange another phone interview. This time around, the process was a lot quicker – just one phone call and I was invited to Facebook's HQ in Dublin for an interview day. All expenses were paid for by the company except for meals and transportation.
I arrived at Dublin on a Sunday and the interview day was on Monday. It was super-quick – less than 2 hours and 4 interviewers from Account Management, Partner Management, Client Services and the Regional Director. In my opinion, the questions they asked were too thoughtful and mind-draining for such little time and the position itself, and honestly, sometimes I did not know how to answer them. The hardest part was the last one with the regional director. I sensed from the first moment he didn't enjoyed being there. "Tell me something that's not in your CV", "Why should I hire you", "Do you like football." I asked what was he looking for in a candidate and his answer was "we're looking for bold people who can make an impression." (As if he just read that.) After we were finished, he simply left the meeting room and I had to find my way to the exit from a 3rd floor myself, and to the airport.
But other than that, it was an interesting experience although it felt like getting the on-site interview was just a matter of luck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you communicate with a mass volume of clients (50,000 for example) who you can't speak with on a 1:1 basis.

Interview
Applied for an Account Manager position in early 2014 via an employee referral. The recruiter contacted me within in a week. After the initial phone screen, they set up a video interview with 4 team members. The video interview went smoothly. Interviewers mainly asked about my experience in advertising and client services; there were no curveball questions. After the video interview, the recruiter wouldn't return phone calls or emails from me so I assume the role was given to someone else.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Jul 2010
Interview
Ridiculously long and drawn out process. If you want a snot nosed Ivy League 22-year old telling you how the business world works, you should definitely interview here. I met with 8 different people, most of them were straight out of school, yet cocky as hell.
