J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Palo Alto, CA) en avr. 2011
Entretien
Since I had some industry experience, after my phone screens, I had the full onsite interview loop. All interviews involve some coding, but they vary in how much:
- 2 ninja (coding) interviews. These are garden-variety programming interviews and can be prepped pretty much the same way you'd prep for Google or any other major software company.
- 1 jedi (engineering fit) interview. The jedi is designed to assess whether you'll thrive in Facebook's engineering team. You'll talk about problems you've worked through in the past, engineering decisions you've made, and so forth. You'll likely do some coding, too.
- 1 pirate (engineering design) interview. If you're in the product-engineering bucket, you'll probably be asked to design a user-facing product; the interview will range from actual coding to high-level design considerations. New-grad hires (people without significant industry experience) will generally not have pirates.

Autres retours d’entretien d’embauche pour un poste comme Software Engineer chez Meta
Got a referral through a friend who worked at Meta, which sped up the entire process. After a casual initial chat, I went through a technical interview where I faced a DSA question about validating palindromes. The interviewer was friendly but rigorous. During prep, I had spent time with the coding challenges on PracHub, and it was funny to see a similar palindrome question pop up. Overall, I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it after careful consideration.

Question 1
Given a string s, return true if it can be a palindrome after deleting at most one character (Valid Palindrome II).
Recruiter call was pretty standard, first round was 2 Meta tagged LC mediums in 45 minutes. On-site was 2 coding sessions of 2 LC mediums, a system design interview and a behavioral interview with an engineering manager.

Question 1
How do you answer if someone asks how long a deliverable or project will take?
The entire process usually takes 3–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and the specific role. Coding interviews heavily emphasize common DSA topics such as arrays, strings, trees, graphs, BFS/DFS, heaps, hash maps, and dynamic programming. System design becomes increasingly important for E4+ positions.
