I have video interviews scheduled soon at Facebook for an IC5/IC6 role(s). I really want to nail these interviews and am curious to see if there are folks on here who can provide some additional insight. As it was explained to me, the first video interview is an exploration of my previous work based on my portfolio. The second interview is an app critique in which both the interviewer and I will critique an application heuristically and from a usability perspective. Any additional insight would be greatly appreciated, ideally from other designers who have gone through the interview process with FB. Thanks for your input.
I just had my onsite on Thursday for a Product Designer position, and am waiting for results. Any specific questions you have? There’s some really good medium articles on past work and the app crit.
Do you already live in the Bay Area or did they fly you out?
They flew me out.
I have interview coming up as well for this role. When you review your portfolio, did you guys do it kn keynote/PowerPoint vs online? Is there specific strategy going over your portfolio? I was told you should be doing 2-3 project during your session... thanks guys
I did a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation is the first thing they see about you, so you want to put your best foot forward. You’ll also want to have 2 projects that show different strengths or platforms. I did one mobile project and one desktop project.
This ^ And make sure you keep in mind the total time allocated. On the on-site day you only get 30 min to present 2 projects. Earlier in the process, it will be 45 min, followed by 15 min of questions. I adapted my slides accordingly.
How many people did you present to during the onsite? Do you get any 1:1 time with anyone on the team?
3 or 4 people, including a design manager. All designers from various teams. Then lunch break with another designer followed by 1:1 with the same people.
How many yoe is required for IC5?
I have heard they have a checklist with keywords and every time you use a keyword in your presentation they would do a ✅ for you. Like: - collaboration - business goals - user goals I am just making these up, but along those lines...
I've done portfolio review if you want I'd be happy to do a mock with you. Dm me.
