Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The interview process involved multiple sessions, all conducted virtually. Some sessions were technical, while others were not.
Since Meta conducts general interviews rather than team-specific ones, the process can feel ambiguous and not focused on a particular area. The interviews were not very engaging, and the interviewers didn't seem eager to conduct them from the outset.
However, the recruiters at Meta were great to work with.
