Meta Placement Papers 2025 - Actual Questions & Solutions

DSA Coding Problems (2025)

Question 1: Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Q1: Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Example:

Input: s = "abcabcbb"
Output: 3

Solution (Python):

def lengthOfLongestSubstring(s):
    char_map = {}
    left = 0
    max_len = 0

    for right in range(len(s)):
        if s[right] in char_map and char_map[s[right]] >= left:
            left = char_map[s[right]] + 1
        char_map[s[right]] = right
        max_len = max(max_len, right - left + 1)

    return max_len

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(min(n, m))

Meta 2025 Interview Experiences

Based on recent candidate experiences from 2025 Meta interviews:

2025 Interview Process:

Online Assessment (60-90 minutes): 3-4 coding problems
Technical Phone Screen (45-60 minutes): Coding problems, algorithm discussions
Onsite Interviews (4-5 rounds, 45 minutes each):
- Coding rounds (2-3): Algorithms, data structures, problem-solving
- System Design round: Critical for senior roles (E4+) - social media scale
- Behavioral round: “Move Fast and Break Things” culture fit, data-driven decisions

2025 Interview Trends:

Increased emphasis on data-driven decision making and metrics
More focus on system design for social media scale
Enhanced behavioral questions about fast iteration and learning from failures
Questions about using data to persuade leadership

Common 2025 Interview Topics:

Coding: Arrays, strings, trees, graphs, valid parentheses, merge k sorted lists, longest substring
System Design: Facebook News Feed, social media systems, real-time systems, scalability
Behavioral: Data-driven decision making, fast iteration, breaking things to learn
Social Media Scale: Problems related to handling millions of users, real-time updates

2025 Interview Questions Examples:

“Design Facebook News Feed” (System Design)
“Clone Graph” (Coding)
“Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters” (Coding)
“Tell me about a time you used data to persuade leadership to change a decision” (Behavioral)

Success Tips:

Strong coding performance is essential - solve problems optimally
Practice system design for social media scale - critical for E4+ roles
Prepare examples demonstrating data-driven decision making with metrics
Show “Move Fast” mindset - rapid iteration and learning from failures
Practice social media scale problems - millions of users, real-time systems
Be ready to discuss breaking things to learn and improve
Prepare examples showing how you used data to influence decisions

Difficulty Rating: 3.2/5
