Meta’s interview process is rigorous, structured, and consistent across roles. Every candidate — engineer, PM, or data scientist — faces the same Jedi (behavioural) round that evaluates initiative, collaboration, and impact at scale. This guide covers all 25 questions most likely to appear in your loop, with full STAR answers calibrated to Meta’s actual values and evaluation rubric.
Role tags in this guide
Questions marked Engineering are most common in SWE loops. PM questions appear in product sense and execution rounds. Data questions are for analytics and data science roles. All other questions appear in every Jedi round regardless of role.
Meta runs 5–7 rounds depending on role and level. Engineering loops include two coding rounds (LeetCode medium/hard), one system design round, and one or two Jedi (behavioural) rounds. PM loops include a product sense round, an analytical/execution round, a leadership round, and Jedi rounds. Data and analytics roles include SQL/analytics questions, a product metrics case, and Jedi rounds. A recruiter screen and a hiring manager call typically precede the full loop.
Meta’s core values shape every question: Move Fast, Focus on Long-Term Impact, Build Awesome Things, Live in the Future, Be Direct and Respect Your Colleagues, and Meta, Metamates, Me — in that order of priority. The last value signals that the company’s mission comes before team loyalty, which before individual preference. Knowing this hierarchy helps you frame conflict and prioritisation stories correctly.

Interviewers probe past behaviour using the STAR method, specifically looking for how you moved fast, influenced without authority, delivered long-term impact, and handled direct feedback.
Meta typically runs 5–7 rounds depending on role and level. Engineering loops include 2 coding rounds, 1 system design, and 1–2 Jedi rounds. PM loops include product sense, analytical, execution, and Jedi rounds. Data roles include SQL/analytics, a product metrics case, and Jedi rounds.
Meta’s values are: Move Fast, Focus on Long-Term Impact, Build Awesome Things, Live in the Future, Be Direct and Respect Your Colleagues, and Meta, Metamates, Me. Every behavioural question maps to one or more of these values. Strong answers explicitly connect the outcome to a Meta value.
Meta’s product sense interview asks you to improve an existing product or design a new feature. The expected framework covers: identifying user segments, surfacing the most painful problem, proposing prioritised solutions, defining success metrics, and discussing trade-offs. The evaluator is looking for user empathy, structured thinking, and the ability to connect a feature decision to business impact at Meta’s scale.
Meta evaluates impact through quantified outcomes — user reach, engagement deltas, revenue, latency improvements, or team productivity gains. Qualitative impact alone is insufficient. Strong candidates state a clear metric, show how their action moved it, and connect the result to a broader product or business outcome.
