Meta is a good place to work, but work-life balance is not the best
Meta is a good place to work, but work-life balance is not the best
Compensation is good.
Perks:
- Food
- Talented Engineers
- Ship code fast, faster than other big companies like Google
- Still has the vibe of a startup.
Work-life balance is not great.
Layoffs were brutal.
Changes in company direction and re-organizations are too frequent.

Typical Meta interview for a Level 5 Software Engineer position: First round: * LeetCode-style coding interview with two problems. Full loop: * Two coding interviews. * One behavioral interview. * One system design interview.

Good. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was fair with LeetCode-style questions and a good interview process. It was hard but manageable if you prepare, in my opinion.
Software Engineer
A very typical interview, as expected for a company like Meta. Nothing particularly surprising. It's good to prepare in advance, know why you want to work there, and understand what the role might include.
