A phone interview with an HR recruiter will be the first step in your interview with Meta. 

• Describe in detail your experience working with a person with a completely different personality.
• How did you handle a conflict while working on a team?
• Do you have experience leading a project in the past?
• Why do you think you are an excellent fit for this role?

The first-round interview comes after your recruiter's call. Typically, you and your recruiting manager speak on the phone for 45 to 60 minutes. You can anticipate being questioned about your background and prior endeavors, some behavioral inquiries to determine whether you would fit in with Facebook's/ Meta's culture, and perhaps even a few technical queries.

• Have you ever faced problems or delayed meeting a stakeholder's deadlines or expectations? What was their reaction? How did you respond?
•  Why Do You Want to Work Here?
• Elaborate on your effectiveness while working under pressure

You will receive an invitation to complete the On-site interview round if your initial interview goes well. The primary challenge for Meta EM candidates is the on-site interview. You'll have 5-6 separate interviews during this interview cycle with various Meta interviewers, including:

• You will be evaluated for your capacity to manage teams and projects in one people management interview.
• You may be asked to delve further into one project retrospective interview you participated in.
• One interview will involve broad behavioral questions to determine whether you'll fit into Meta's culture. 
• One or two system design interviews, where you'll need to demonstrate that you understand how to construct highly scalable systems and that you can do so.
• A single or two code interviews in which you will be expected to answer general coding questions associated with your position.
