Process
I went through Meta’s Software Engineer interview process, which included a recruiter screen, a technical phone interview, and a virtual onsite with coding, system design, and behavioral rounds. The interviewers were direct but supportive, and the questions were mostly LeetCode-style problems and high-level design discussions. I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the process was structured, fast, and a good reflection of Meta’s engineering expectations.
Questions
