Updated 11/23/2025
This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
FAANG companies typically conduct 5 rounds for entry-level L&D Manager positions: an initial recruiter screen to assess background and motivation, a foundational L&D knowledge phone screen, a case study/scenario interview to evaluate problem-solving in real-world contexts, a behavioral interview to assess collaboration and past experiences, and a final hiring manager round for role fit and cultural alignment. The process emphasizes learning fundamentals, business acumen, communication skills, and collaborative problem-solving rather than technical coding. Total interview duration spans 4-6 weeks from initial contact to offer.
