I genuinely don’t understand why Meta requires six interviews for a role like this. I had two calls with recruiters, one with the hiring manager, and then four back-to-back interviews in one day with various team members from the sales function - including marketing science, an industry manager, and operations. There was also supposed to be a sixth interview, though I wasn’t selected for the role before reaching that stage. What surprised me most was the repetitiveness of the interviews - nearly all of them focused on internal projects and cross-functional collaboration, even though the role wasn’t for project management. There was very little focus on client relationship-building or revenue generation, which I would have expected in a commercial-facing role. Compared to other companies I interviewed with the process felt unnecessarily drawn out and, at times, a bit impersonal. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of overly rigid structure and a lack of flexibility, which stood in contrast to the culture I’ve experienced elsewhere.
