Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

It was a standard, cookie-cutter interview with a coding interview, a system design interview, and a culture interview.

The coding part is basically LeetCode. The system design is what you can find on many YouTube videos. The culture one is more tricky, as they want to see that you fit Meta's culture, not that you were doing great at your existing company. Skills like dealing with conflict without calling in managers are sought after.

Questions

  • Coding: I forgot, sorry.
  • System design: Design Ticketmaster.
  • Culture: Talk about a past project, a time when you disagreed with a peer, and how you resolved disagreements, etc.
