Meta Software Engineer interview experience

E3Posted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For the Meta E3 SWE interview, I went through a three-round full loop that was simpler in structure than some other companies’ processes.

The rounds were coding, an AI-enabled coding round, and then behavioral.

The AI-enabled portion was the big unknown for me. It involved a chat-bot style setup that assisted in writing code, and that made the experience feel different from a normal live problem-solving session. The earlier coding round focused on DSA, and then the behavioral round wrapped things up.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, but the whole loop felt consistent—clear enough that I could map what stage I was in, even if the AI-enabled format was the part that I wasn’t sure how to interpret while it was happening.
