Meta's Interview Process (2024)

Blog / Meta's Interview Process (2024)

The Meta interview process is a pretty standard big tech interview process that typically runs as follows:

Resume screening
Recruiter call
Technical call (Typically 2 LC DSA questions)
Technical in person (Typically a system design and behavioural questions)
Decision

In terms of preparing for the interview it is best to break it down into main categories e.g.

Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)
System Design
Behavioural questions

1. Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)Studying the most frequently asked LC questions is by far the most efficient way. Here you want to focus on speed and making sure you can get each quest done in under 20 minutes. While its always good to be able to explain the solution in detail getting it working correctly and in time is where your main focus should be.

2. System DesignUnsurprisingly the system design questions tend to focus on Meta related system designs e.g. Instagram, Messenger, and News Feeds.However, they also have other favourites including Dropbox and Web Crawlers.

3. Behavioural questionsFor behavioural questions they can broadly be broken down into 3 categories:

Meta Specific (e.g. Discuss Meta’s core values)
Teamwork (e.g. Discuss a time when you had a disagreement with a manager)
Career development (e.g. Where do you see yourself in 5 years)
