Depends. But in most cases 4 positives are required because there are too many strong candidates.
You can survive one bad interview if the rest went extremely well. I had 5 interviews onsite. Did very well in 1 coding, 1 system design and the behavioral. Did ok with 1 system design and crashed&burned 1 coding. Got the offer.
If itâs 3 and 1 it will almost certainly make it to the discussion stage at which point the details of each interview will matter, it could go either way (or result in follow-up interviews being requested.)
I hope things go fine.
When did you get your last offer? If you have three offers then why do you think you were not well prepared?
About 1.5 weeks before Facebook interview. Completely chilled out and havenât touched any leetcode question since then. I wasnât well prepared in context in Facebook interview.

If youâre invited on site, expect three interviews and a lunch spread across a full day. 1. Youâll go through another coding interview. Much like the coding interview you did over the phone in structure, except this time, youâll be face-to-face and coding on a whiteboard, not a shared collaboration tool (so practice that, too). One important piece of the coding interviews is that you talk through your thought process. Yes, interviewers want to see good, clean code. But they also want to see how you think and problem-solve. Donât make them guess about it - be transparent and share your thought process before you even start writing. 2. Then, youâll do a design interview. Hereâs another 45-minute interview that requires you stand at the whiteboardâbut this time, no coding. This interview is a unique step for Facebook: as a means of assessing your creativity and ability to solve important design problems, your interviewer will pose either a systems design or product design question and have you work through it with them over the next thirty minutes. Notice the âwith themâ part: this interview is just as much about your ability to collaborate as it is your design ability. Work with your interviewer, asking good questions and sourcing their thoughts and feedback. 3. Next, comes lunch with the recruiter (or another member of the engineering team). Somewhere in the process youâll take a break, eat a meal, and get a chance to ask more questions to either your recruiter or another member of the engineering team. 4. Finally, thereâs a behavioral interview. Lastly, youâll sit down for a longer look at your resume, background, and long-term goals. Think about why you want to work for Facebook and be prepared to answer questions like: - What are you proud of? - What were some excellent collaborations youâve had? - Tell me about a time when you advocated for and pushed your ideas forward despite opposition? - How do you deal with conflict? - How do you like to give and receive feedback? - What kinds of technologies are you most excited about? - What problems do you like to work on? Hope this helps. You can read all about it in more detail here: https://goo.gl/oKThuQ
Iâve already completed onsite. I just want to know if they expect us to do well in all 4 interviews, or if I doing well in 3 would suffice?
Great post! đ
