Meta Full Loop (E4/E5) | Product SWE | Passed
Summary
I recently completed a full loop interview at Meta for a Product SWE (E4/E5) role and successfully moved to the team matching phase. I was downleveled from E4/E5 largely due to mismanaging time in the Product Architecture round.
Full Experience
Hi All,
Giving back to community. Recently I gave full loop and moved to team matching phase.

Huge shout-out to CodingWithMinmer for all variations and OG (my most of questions were from the problems he covered).
For design, please manage time efficiently. My interviewer left completly on me in terms of time management and I misjudged it thinking that he's fine covering initial design and could only get 5-10 minutes for deep-dive. So, you are on your own in terms of time management. Got downleveled because of that. Do a mock round please!

Preparation Tips
I utilized CodingWithMinmer for various coding problem variations. For system design, I recommend efficient time management and mock rounds, learning from my experience where misjudging time led to downleveling.
