I recently went through Meta screening interview for M1. I had 1 round system design and 1 leadership. My recruiter said that I did good in sys design but didn't do well in leadership round. This was a surprise to me. Also, I have been downleveled because they arw not hiring for M2. So, now my question: 1. Is it common to get review for screening round? 2. Recruiter is recommending to share a referral and I have one but is it worth it? Given this is screening and I worry about on-site. 3. Any good recommendations to prep for behavioral rounds? Do they prefer short answers and stay to 1 point instead of sharing the meaty experience Tc: 0
tell me about a time when you pooped but couldn't wipe your ass. how did you resolve any conflicts and overcome adversity?
Some ex-Bank of America guy suddenly barged in and licked it clean. No conflicts, no adversity.
It's not about short or meaty answers. It's about being concise and providing the signal that the interviewer is looking for. If they're asking for a referral, it seems like you still have a chance for an onsite. I do individual interviews prep coaching. Happy to help. Please dm if interested in connecting.
Watch Jeff Sipe’s YouTube videos for behavioral rounds. That’s more than enough. Make sure that your answers are in the STAR format.
