Prepare for impact Meta This article will talk about the interview process of Meta, including coding, system design, behavioral interview, and other highlights for our team and trainees! This article will talk about the Meta interview process experienced by our team and students, including coding, system design, behavioral interviews and other key content, and incidentally will also mention the real experience of VO assistance. Interviews are not easy, but with the right preparation, you will have a chance to win, let's see what are the pitfalls and tips~!
Candidate background:3 years of experience, Master's degree in Computer Science; Apply via Internal Refer.
Mock interviews:
- Move the 0 element to the end of the array (after thinking about it and finally implementing it).
- Maximum number of islands (solved using depth-first search).
Interview Feedback:After the first question was prompted the candidate didn't understand it, she ignored the prompt and solved it on her own, the interviewer reminded to listen carefully; then the demo was run and a boundary case was requested for secondary validation.
Screening rounds:
- Right and left views of a binary tree
- LRU Cache Implementation
Feedback from interviewer was favorable, and I was called for an interview 3 days later.
Meta Code VO 1:
- Maximum sum of subtrees in a binary tree
- Parses expressions containing only "+" and "*" (e.g. 5*10+3 = 53)
The first question ignored negative results and was corrected after the interviewer prompted; the second question was passed once.
Meta Code VO 2:
- Generate all subsets of a given set (e.g. {A,B,C} → [{}, {A}, {B}, {C}, {A,B}, {A,B,C}, {B,C}])
- Validated word abbreviation verification
First question is correct, self-suspecting error in explanation, interviewer confirms it is correct and adds clarification; minor error in variable naming, fixed on the spot. All codes passed the optimal solution.
Behavioral Interview:
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Challenges in the project
- Pros and Cons
- Conflicts with managers
- How to handle deadlines
- How to Receive Feedback
- Examples of proactive liability
This round was about 25 minutes, the interviewer explained in advance that it was less than 45 minutes, and then interacted for 10 minutes after the round was over, so it went well overall.
Meta System Design VO 3:
Designing an ad aggregation system - discussed data flow, caching, scaling strategies, etc., with good feedback.
Interview Preparation Tips:
Code:Brush up on 100 high-frequency Facebook questions.
Behavioral facets:Generate questions and reference answers using ChatGPT and polish them with personal experience, accumulating about 10 hours of preparation over 3 days.
System Design:Study the first few chapters of System Design Vol 1 & 2 and Designing Data-Intensive Applications, develop a weekly learning plan, and participate in challenging projects or open source contributions to enrich the real-world examples.
