What this question tests

Whether the candidate has genuine, specific reasons for choosing this company over a generic answer.

How to approach it

  1. Name a specific Meta product or initiative you are genuinely interested in, such as Reels' recommendation system or the AI work.
  2. Connect it to your own background or skills, showing why you specifically would contribute there.
  3. Mention scale as a reason only with specifics, such as the chance to affect billions of daily social interactions.
  4. Avoid generic reasons like compensation or brand name as the primary answer, even if true.
  5. Close with what you want to learn or build there, tying it to your career direction.
