Meta Interview Prep
Meta runs a fast, signal-dense loop: tight coding rounds, a product-flavored system design, and a behavioral round on impact and speed.

- Speed and impact ("Move Fast")
- Coding fluency — two problems in 35-40 min
- Product-aware system design
- Driving outcomes, not just effort
The Meta interview loop
Coding (Ninja)
Prep this round →Two problems in ~40 minutes — pace and correctness both matter.
System Design
Prep this round →Often product-driven (design a feed, messaging, etc.) with scaling deep dives.
Behavioral (Jedi)
Prep this round →Impact, conflict, and how you drive results quickly.
Sample Meta interview questions
Coding
- Merge k sorted lists.
- Given a binary tree, return the vertical order traversal.
System Design
- Design the Facebook News Feed.
- Design a typeahead / search suggestion service.
Behavioral
- Tell me about your highest-impact project and how you measured it.
- Describe a time you had to move fast with imperfect information.
Meta interview FAQ
Why is Meta's coding round called "Ninja"?
It is the internal name for the coding interview. The defining feature is pace: you typically solve two problems in about 40 minutes, so speed plus correctness is the bar.
What does Meta weight most?
Demonstrated impact and speed. Behavioral answers that quantify outcomes and show you drive results land best.
