Meta Software Engineer Interview Preparation Guide - Junior Level

Meta's Software Engineer interview process for junior-level candidates is highly structured and competitive. The process spans 4-8 weeks and includes multiple stages: an initial recruiter screening to assess background and motivation, a technical phone screen with coding interviews to evaluate fundamental programming skills, and a full-day onsite loop consisting of 4 separate interview rounds covering coding problems, system design fundamentals, and behavioral assessment. Throughout the process, candidates are evaluated on Meta's core values: Move Fast, Build Awesome Things, and Focus on Long-Term Impact. The entire interview sequence is designed to thoroughly assess technical proficiency, problem-solving approach, communication skills, and cultural fit with Meta's fast-paced engineering environment.[1][2][5]
