Meta behavioral interview for E6
I have an E5/E6 loop coming up and I wanted to make sure I prepare well to showcase E6 capabilities. I understand that the behavioral round can be very important for E6 so I wanted to see if anybody has any tips on this specific interview with meta?
There will be two types of interviewers. One who will basically ask all negative scenarios like your weakness, conflicts, disagreement with leaders/peers/junior, handling blame and how you have handled them. The others would ask, how you behave in ambiguous situations, tough problems to solve and so on. Generally, if the person asks positive then it is much more easier else tough luck 🍀
Make sure you practice your stories and include stories where you led a project with a few teams / subprojects involved. E6 is team lead level at Meta and though it’s not required it helps to show wide scope over people. Otherwise you need to show very deep expertise in an area and talk about how you convince others to follow your ideas and execute them.
Look up Google behavioral guidelines for leveling on moma, and just prepare your answers off that. You can do this for system design too.

One resource I found it helps me incredibly well with behavioral interviews was the 48 cards deck from 9to5cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKLRLP7P
This behavioral interview book might help: https://shorturl.at/inqU9. It has FANNG leadership behavioral questions and answers that you can refer to.
