Rejected from Meta after two months and NINE interview rounds for a TPM role. Exhausted and disappointed…
The partnership and behavioral leadership rounds were nothing like I prepared for and my weakness is coming up with deeply relevant retrospectives on the fly.
Can anyone who’s conducted these interviews provide insight into the rubric or rating sheet for these interviews?

anyone here do very poorly on a case interview but well on the behavioral part & still continue onto the next round/get an offer?

I just had a first round interview with HR. It’s a large company with tons of reviews about what the interview process so I expected to get behavioral questions. In reality the person spent the first 10 minutes explaining what the role is not. They could not answer specific questions about the role and only asked me two specific questions about my current job and 1 behavioral question and then went into salary/benefits. Is it typical to still go over salary if they don’t expect to move forward?

Just took the Barclays cognitive, behavioral, and personality test and received a notification that I have to do a pre-recorded interview. Does that mean I passed onto round two? Barclays

Originally had a behavioral interview scheduled for Tuesday. On Monday, Recruiter emailed me saying it had to move to Monday next week; I said ok. On Wednesday, recruiter emailed again saying it would be a case interview and attaching a take-home case. If i had been interviewed on the original scheduled date, it would have been significantly less work for me. Why suddenly changed their interview format last minute and required me to do at least 10 extra hours of prep? IS THIS A RED FLAG?
