I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Dec 2024
Interview
Had to do a preferences at work assessment (behavioral style q) and a coding assessment with 4/5 questions. Invited to a technical interview couple weeks later, done online with coderpad and a zoom call. Interviewer was late but they were nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did 1 coding question with a meta employee, had to talk about my reasoning for doing things certain ways and explain my code a lot. They gave advice on what to do if you get stuck.
no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
