FB system design questions (product)
Would any recent interviewees like to share what type of system design questions were asked at FB system design (product) interviews? This is my first interview after a 5-6 years. I've researched and prepared all the usual online materials like donnemartin, educative etc. Would like to practice some more questions specific to FB Much appreciated your 0.02.
I would say standard ones on the internet, just that you can't stop talking.. you have to be going on & on. I think that's where I lost.
I don't know but frankly all they are gonna ask is in Grokking the System Design Interview
I mean to say if asked to design Instagram for example, just be prepared to talk continuously (relevant & technical) for 45mins. 2 coding rounds - mostly straight fwd (leetcode). 1 behavioral - talk about most positive & negative work incidents. Trying to assess your cultural fit. 1 design - Grokking the System Design Interview.. will sufficient
Design messenger, feed, instagram, etc. Just think about “web scale” products that the company has, and think about the challenges of components of those systems.
