The Meta interview process typically involves an initial recruiter screening call, followed by a technical screening round, and then a full loop of on-site interviews which can include a mix of domain-specific technical questions and behavioral assessments, with the whole process potentially taking several weeks to a couple of months depending on the role and candidate level; key aspects include a focus on data structures, algorithms, system design, and problem-solving skills, often with coding challenges involved.
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.
