I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
- initial call with recruiter
- coding round with an interviewer - 2 leetcode mediums
- loop
-> 2 coding interviews
-> 2 system design interviews
-> 1 behaviour interview
Interviews were positive. Even when I forgot how to do KMP, the interviewer was trying to be helpful.
How to prep for all those can be found all over YouTube - definitely worth preparing hard for it!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
LeetCode question where I had to use KMP. Heap and queue related questions.
Typical Interview rounds.
Coding - Leetcode Medium
AI Coding - 4 parts to it.
System design - 1 high level(Like implement messenger) and 1 low level (eg: implement scheduler)
Behavioural - STAR based Questions and answers.
I didnt complete AI 4 parts, thats why i got rejected i guess.
Pretty efficient. Scheduled it very quickly, screens followed by an in person interview. You have Ninjas, Pirates, and Jedis, technical, systems design, and personality interviews respectively. Scheduling is good, good hotel and flights and everything.

Question 1
Design the Facebook post privacy functionality. In other words, if I make a Facebook post, and I have 3 privacy options to choose from (Only Me, Friends Only, Public), design how wold you get the visibility for any Faceook user (ie. can a FB user see the post or not)
Everything was on time, scheduled 1 month before interview. Interview was really good, no any issues. Got 2 coding questions, solved 1.5 questions, but not enough to go to the next level
