I applied via employee referral to the Rotational Product Management program in early August 2018. I received an email 1 week later to answer some logistics questions (work authorization, etc.) and set up a 30-minute phone screen via a scheduling link. It was an automated template email (my name was in all caps) and I received no reply after responding to the questions. The first robotic email set the tone for the rest of the process. The phone screen was straightforward (questions listed below), but there was zero engagement from the recruiter. Just firing off questions one right after another. When it came time for me to ask questions, the recruiter didn't know the answers to any of my questions about the RPM program (mentor matching, international trip, team matching for each rotation), which I found very odd. Got a cookie-cutter email about a week later that I'd been rejected.

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.
