Company profile
Meta operates Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Reality Labs VR/AR division, and is one of the largest open-source AI contributors via Llama. Interviews are tightly structured around two coding rounds, a system design round, and a behavioural round that maps directly to Meta's leadership principles.
Meta keeps the loop tight and predictable: a recruiter chat, a technical screen, then an onsite of two coding rounds, a design round, and a behavioural round called Jedi. Coding is timed and you are expected to finish two problems per 45-minute slot, so pace is part of the test.
Role match, team direction, and timeline.
Two coding problems in one session, solved cleanly and quickly.
Speed and correctness on medium problems, often two per round.
Backend system design, or product architecture for client and product roles.
Drive, conflict, and impact stories mapped to Meta's operating values.
Meta hires across several engineering and product functions, and the loop shifts with each one. Open a role for the reported questions, the round-by-round focus, and a salary band for that function.
