Prepping for FB behavioral onsite?
I’m unsure of what to expect for this one - I’m usually pretty good at bullshitting, but there might be some cultural stuff I’m not aware of. Also, I hear they sometimes have a simple coding question after the behavioral ones - is this a signal that the behavioral part went well?

Be prepared to talk about a project you worked on in depth. That's not an uncommon question to see. It's really not a high pressure interview and meant to be more like a conversation. Just relax and follow that guy's advice: don't be an asshole.
Another thing to mention is that you won't get a lot of time for questions in your other interviews. This is the one where you'll probably be able to ask some. Have _good_ one's to ask.
Good advice, thanks. How in depth do they usually expect? I’m concerned my intern projects aren’t complex enough :(
Also, go easy on the bullshitting. If we sense it, we’ll dig deeper and deeper until we figure out its BS, and no-hire you. Be genuine.
Thanks :) will do. Anything you recommend focusing on culturally? I really like the evaluation-by-impact and velocity parts of the culture that everyone talks about, would it look bad to focus on them? Anything I should never ever talk about? (Eg disparage prior employer, racism, blame y’all for Trump etc)
It’s all up to the interviewer where they will take the conversation. I think standard interview advice would apply - be prepared to go deep talking about a couple projects, at least one successful and one not. Be self-reflective. Don’t be afraid to show some vulnerability. We all have weaknesses, pretending you don’t will be a bad signal. Be honest, conversational, and open. At the end of the day, the Jedi interview is to determine if you will be successful at Facebook. Trying to hack it could line you up for a role you won’t succeed in. Good luck!
What role?
