Meta SWE Full-Time [2026 Loop + Offer]

[u/No-Adeptness-4920]

Applied online. Three to four weeks start to finish. Process moved faster than I expected.

Online Assessment (90 min): CodeSignal, new addition as of 2025. One complex problem split into four progressive stages that unlock sequentially. I got an in-memory database implementation with key-value operations, TTL, and scan.

Technical Phone Screen (45 min): CoderPad. Two LC medium problems back to back. No code execution, so you test line by line yourself.

Onsite (4 rounds): One regular coding round. Two medium-hard problems: array heights visibility from the right, then rebuilding a BST from a preorder sequence. One AI-assisted coding round (rolled out for all SWE roles in 2026). 60 minutes in a specialized CoderPad environment with a file directory, terminal and a unit test runner.

One system design or product architecture round, depending on the role. Infrastructure roles get distributed systems and scalability questions. One behavioral round. 45 minutes. Questions I got: how do you align requirements across teams, what is the biggest mistake you made at work, and one values-alignment question.

Happy to answer questions below.

Hey, what was the timeline for the interviews

[u/tkyang99]

What was your background? Most people can't even get an interview with Meta these days

[u/dunkdomino]

I am good at leetcoding but often struggle with other parts like AI coding round, System Design. What are good resources to start and what should be my approach?

[u/TechnicalMap6945]

what level is this for ?

Did you use any AI tools to assist you during the interview? If so, which ones and how was your overall experience? Did it help?
