Meta: Move Fast and Core Values

Meta's behavioural loop is built around six core values published internally and externally: Move Fast, Focus on Long-Term Impact, Build Awesome Things, Live in the Future, Be Direct and Respect Your Colleagues, and Meta, Metamates, Meta. Their interview process uses an internal shorthand (Jedi for craftsmanship, Pirate for bias to ship, Ninja for cross-team scope) that interviewers reach for when calibrating fit. Meta also runs a behavioural round explicitly called the 'People' round and grades direct disagreement as a positive signal. This lesson maps the values to the questions, walks through the loop format, and shows two model answers tailored to Meta's preferred posture: high-velocity, direct, and willing to disagree productively in public.

Startup vs. FAANG Interview Differences

I ran a Series B startup loop and a Meta loop in the same month. The shape, the calibration, and what each one was actually grading were nothing alike.

The Meta Frontend Loop Questions (2024)

Four utility-belt questions from a frontend loop at a large social platform in early 2024. They look like trivia but each one is graded on a specific edge case. Mine got me to round three.
