Move fast at Facebook
Move fast at Facebook
The culture at Facebook is all about moving fast, so the projects are challenging. The people here are very smart, so you'll definitely feel inspired. The bar is set high, and managers push you to exceed expectations.
Work/life balance is encouraged, but not really practiced by coworkers and managers.
Practice what you preach. Don't submit code or send emails on a Sunday.

Meta Interview Questions
Meta Interview Experiences
Senior Software Engineer
Tree question. Couldn't give tips at all. Interviewer was disconnected and condescending for each reject in 45 minutes. Really terrible candidate experience. There have been few good experiences with Meta.
Data Engineer
First is the recruiter round, then a one-hour technical interview which included questions around SQL and Python. After that would be behavioural and other technical rounds. Other technical rounds would cover system design, etc.

Pretty standard. Just grind LeetCode. They basically want you to make zero mistakes and solve problems like a robot. They don’t really care about your thought process, just that you find the most optimized solution ASAP.
