Summary

I went through a comprehensive E5 onsite interview loop at Meta in Bangalore, which included a phone screen, two data structures and algorithms rounds, a product architecture design round, and a critical behavioral round.

How it went

Phone screen : https://leetcode.com/discuss/post/6560544/meta-e5-phone-screen-passed-by-anonymous-30p2/

Round 1 (DSA)

I solved both questions within 25 minutes. The interviewer then asked a follow-up question on the second problem.

Round 2 (DSA)

Round 3 (Product Architecture Design)

This round focused on designing a coding platform like leetcode, with major discussions around supporting multiple concurrent competitions.

Round 4 (Behavioral)

This is the most crucial round at Meta. You need to be 100% confident in the stories you present. Avoid fabricating experiences—they can easily detect inconsistencies.
