Best place to intern
Best place to intern
Plenty of intern benefits, plenty of visibility into Facebook's engineering practices. I think this is the best place to start your career as an engineer.
This company is giant, and you can definitely feel it. There is a lot of variation in intern mentors. Some people have great mentors; others not so much.
Holt intern managers to higher standards. Vet projects and mentors more thoroughly.

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.
Software Engineer
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.
