Recent Meta Interview Questions (2024-2025)

Coding/DSA

Arrays & Strings

Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Example: “abcabcbb” -> 3 (abc)

Code:

def lengthOfLongestSubstring(s: str) -> int:
    char_map = {}
    max_length = 0
    start = 0
    for end in range(len(s)):
        if s[end] in char_map and char_map[s[end]] >= start:
            start = char_map[s[end]] + 1
        char_map[s[end]] = end
        max_length = max(max_length, end - start + 1)
    return max_length

Two Sum Variant

Given an array, return indices of two numbers that add up to a target (with negative numbers and duplicates).

Example: nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9 -> [0, 1]

Code:

def twoSum(nums: List[int], target: int) -> List[int]:
    num_map = {}
    for i, num in enumerate(nums):
        complement = target - num
        if complement in num_map:
            return [num_map[complement], i]
        num_map[num] = i
    return []

Group Anagrams

Group a list of strings into anagrams.

Example: [“eat”, “tea”, “tan”, “ate”, “nat”, “bat”] -> [[“eat”, “tea”, “ate”], [“tan”, “nat”], [“bat”]]

Code:

def groupAnagrams(strs: List[str]) -> List[List[str]]:
    anagrams = {}
    for s in strs:
        sorted_s = ''.join(sorted(s))
        if sorted_s in anagrams:
            anagrams[sorted_s].append(s)
        else:
            anagrams[sorted_s] = [s]
    return list(anagrams.values())

Trees & Graphs

Detect Cycle in Directed Graph

Given a directed graph, detect if there is a cycle.

Example:

A -> B -> C -> A (cycle)
A -> B -> C (no cycle)

Code:

def isCyclic(V, adj):
    visited = [False] * V
    recStack = [False] * V

    for node in range(V):
        if not visited[node]:
            if dfs(node, visited, recStack, adj):
                return True
    return False

def dfs(node, visited, recStack, adj):
    visited[node] = True
    recStack[node] = True

    for neighbor in adj[node]:
        if not visited[neighbor]:
            if dfs(neighbor, visited, recStack, adj):
                return True
        elif recStack[neighbor]:
            return True
    recStack[node] = False
    return False

Lowest Common Ancestor

Find LCA in a binary tree.

Example:

LCA of 4 and 5 is 2.
LCA of 4 and 6 is 1.
LCA of 3 and 4 is 1.

Code:

def lowestCommonAncestor(root, p, q):
    if not root or root == p or root == q:
        return root

    left = lowestCommonAncestor(root.left, p, q)
    right = lowestCommonAncestor(root.right, p, q)

    if left and right:
        return root
    return left if left else right

Clone Graph

Return a deep copy of a graph.

Example:

Input: adjList = [[2,4],[1,3],[2,4],[1,3]]
Output: [[2,4],[1,3],[2,4],[1,3]]

Code:

def cloneGraph(node):
    if not node:
        return None

    visited = {}
    def dfs(original_node):
        if original_node in visited:
            return visited[original_node]

        new_node = Node(original_node.val)
        visited[original_node] = new_node

        for neighbor in original_node.neighbors:
            new_node.neighbors.append(dfs(neighbor))
        return new_node

    return dfs(node)

System/Product Design

Design a News Feed System

Data modeling, feed ranking, scalability.

Example:

News Feed:
User A: Post 1, Post 2, Post 3
User B: Post 4, Post 5
User C: Post 6

Code:

class NewsFeed:
    def __init__(self):
        self.posts = []
        self.user_posts = {}

    def create_post(self, user_id, post_id, content):
        if user_id not in self.user_posts:
            self.user_posts[user_id] = []
        self.user_posts[user_id].append((post_id, content))
        self.posts.append((post_id, user_id, content))
        self.posts.sort(key=lambda x: x[0]) # Sort by post_id

    def get_news_feed(self, user_id):
        user_post_ids = [p[0] for p in self.user_posts[user_id]]
        all_post_ids = [p[0] for p in self.posts]
        combined_ids = list(set(user_post_ids + all_post_ids))
        combined_ids.sort(reverse=True)

        feed = []
        for post_id in combined_ids:
            for post in self.posts:
                if post[0] == post_id:
                    feed.append(post)
                    break
        return feed[:10] # Return top 10 posts

Design Messenger

Message delivery, real-time updates, storage.

Example:

User A sends "Hello" to User B.
User B receives "Hello".
User A sends "Hi" to User B.
User B receives "Hi".

Code:

class Messenger:
    def __init__(self):
        self.messages = {}
        self.users = {}

    def register_user(self, user_id):
        if user_id not in self.users:
            self.users[user_id] = []

    def send_message(self, sender_id, receiver_id, message):
        if sender_id not in self.users:
            self.register_user(sender_id)
        if receiver_id not in self.users:
            self.register_user(receiver_id)

        self.messages[(sender_id, receiver_id)] = message
        self.users[receiver_id].append((sender_id, message))

    def get_messages(self, user_id):
        if user_id not in self.users:
            return []
        return self.users[user_id]

Design Instagram Stories

Handling uploads, expiration, and notifications.

Example:

User A uploads a story.
User B sees User A's story.
User A's story expires after 24 hours.
User B sees User A's new story.

Code:

class InstagramStories:
    def __init__(self):
        self.stories = {}
        self.users = {}

    def upload_story(self, user_id, story_id, content):
        if user_id not in self.users:
            self.users[user_id] = []
        self.stories[story_id] = (user_id, content, time.time() + 24*60*60) # 24 hours expiration
        self.users[user_id].append(story_id)

    def get_stories(self, user_id):
        if user_id not in self.users:
            return []
        current_time = time.time()
        return [story_id for story_id in self.users[user_id] if self.stories[story_id][2] > current_time]

Ready to start your Meta preparation? Focus on DSA (especially arrays, strings, trees, graphs), system/product design basics, and Meta values. Practice mock interviews and build strong STAR stories for every value.

Pro Tip: Consistent practice on LeetCode (Meta tag) and HackerRank is key. Understand Meta’s values and be ready to demonstrate them in behavioral rounds. Every answer should show impact, learning, and boldness.
