- Data Engineer interview at Facebook: unclear bookstore scenarioFacebook · Data Engineer · Jul 2026
After a recruiter screen, I went into a technical conversation that felt tougher than the preparation materials. The difficulty was not only coding or SQL. A scenario resembling a bookstore checkout system was described too vaguely for me to know the intended behavior, and the interviewer did not help clarify it. Once I understood what to build, I worked through it, but the experience still felt…
- Facebook Software Engineer interview: BFS matrix task and unfinished technical loopFacebook · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
After the recruiter step, I had a coding-centered technical round with two questions in about 45 minutes. One required a normal solution followed by an optimization follow-up, which made the round more demanding than I expected.

The technical sequence followed a familiar pattern, starting with a phone screen and then an onsite that mixed coding, behavioral questions, and system design. The coding questions were LeetCode-styl…
- Facebook Software Engineer interview: two coding questions and onsite loopFacebook · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
After a recruiter call, I had a technical screen that began immediately with coding. I answered two LeetCode-style questions and had to communicate clearly as I worked. The questions were heavily Meta-tagged, so targeted preparation mattered more than generic DSA practice. The onsite loop added behavioral, two more coding questions, and system design. The recruiter was accommodating and the proce…
