J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta en janv. 2025
Entretien
1. Initial call with recruiter (~30mins):
discuss about your background and experience, why you are interested in Meta, overview of interview process and high level view of role and team
2. Technical Phone Screen (~45mins):
Conducted by a Meta software engineer. Coding challenge on a coderpad, It will be two dsa problems (Leetcode style easy to medium)
3. Onsite (4 - 5 rounds, 45 - 50 mins for each round)
(a) two coding rounds: It will be similar to phone screen, but expect harder questions
(b) system design round
(c) behavioral round
You might have additional behavioral or system design round randomly
Got a referral through a friend who worked at Meta, which sped up the entire process. After a casual initial chat, I went through a technical interview where I faced a DSA question about validating palindromes. The interviewer was friendly but rigorous. During prep, I had spent time with the coding challenges on PracHub, and it was funny to see a similar palindrome question pop up. Overall, I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it after careful consideration.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given a string s, return true if it can be a palindrome after deleting at most one character (Valid Palindrome II).
Recruiter call was pretty standard, first round was 2 Meta tagged LC mediums in 45 minutes. On-site was 2 coding sessions of 2 LC mediums, a system design interview and a behavioral interview with an engineering manager.

Question 1
How do you answer if someone asks how long a deliverable or project will take?
The entire process usually takes 3–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and the specific role. Coding interviews heavily emphasize common DSA topics such as arrays, strings, trees, graphs, BFS/DFS, heaps, hash maps, and dynamic programming. System design becomes increasingly important for E4+ positions.
