The hiring process was long and drawn out. Facebook initially contacted me, and the initial screening call and process were timely. However, the follow-up was drawn out over three months. A new VP hiring slowed the schedule as the group reassessed its needs. I ended up initiating multiple calls to the recruiter to get status updates. The recruiter was forthcoming with status information when I reached him.

I interviewed with five members of the mobile team, including a lawyer, a BD manager, and program managers, as well as partner support. The questions were basic, covering:

• What/who is considered the best partner
• What/who is considered competition
• How to engage partners
• Past responsibilities related to partnerships

One BD manager was particularly arrogant about himself and his role, making the interaction difficult. He also spoke negatively about a couple of his partners.

General discussion about BD role.
