Two coding rounds at LeetCode pace, a system design round for experienced hires, and a behavioral round that reads for drive, conflict and impact. Fast, signal-dense and level-calibrated.
3 of 5 stages you can practise here
Minimal warmup, then straight into 1-2 problems in a shared editor
Four scored 45-min rounds: two coding, one system design or product architecture ('Ninja'), one behavioral ('Jedi').
3 rounds you can practise
The signature Meta cadence: typically two problems in 45 minutes, so you must finish problem one with clean working code in ~15-20 min to leave room for the second
Spoken design on a collaborative diagram
Conversational career retrospective, not a rigid script
After a hire decision; conversations with teams. Can affect final level and offer conversion, not scored as a competency.
Committee reviews packet, confirms level (E4 vs E5, with down-leveling common), and extends offer.
Built from what Meta publishes about its own process and from real interview data. No leaked question lists. The questions you get are generated against your own resume, so they are not from anyone else's interview.
Round list (coding, system design vs product architecture, behavioral), and the four coding competencies (Problem Solving, Coding, Verification, Communication).
E4/E5 loop structure, round counts, and leveling notes.
Coding topic/difficulty distribution and canonical problem list.
Meta's published company values as the behavioral reference frame.
