CoderPad, a curated set of AI models, and the bug → feature → scale arc. What Meta interviewers watch, and how to use their practice environment.

The canonical open-ended format, your own editor, your own AI tools, screen shared. Shopify wants a pairing session, not a bot chat.

CoderPad with its own model selection and the same multi-phase structure as Meta. What to expect and how to prepare.

Open-ended with AI usage mandated and scored explicitly, interviewers pause after every generation and ask "what does this code do?"

Structured on HackerRank with a pre-set repository, you're expected to navigate existing code before making changes, and candidates report the AI gives nudges rather than solutions.

Open-ended, building features incrementally against interviewer-supplied test cases. One candidate's explicit feedback: "relied too heavily on AI even though their initial approach was correct."

The format varies by team, from structured DSA to open repo work. Ask your recruiter which variant your loop uses.
