The interviewer would like to learn what you perceive as your greatest strengths, and how they might benefit Meta. While preparing for your interview, make a list of your greatest strengths, and choose those that align with Meta's culture. Consider adopting some of their language into yours, such as their keywords and coined key phrases.

According to Meta's careers blogs, Meta encourages everyone to draw on their unique strengths by promoting a think-tank, strengths-based culture "which aims to identify and foster employees' talents rather than try to round out their weaknesses. This allows us to build on what our people are good at instead of what can be fixed, maximizing the power of their skills and inspiring them with confidence. By aligning our people's strengths and passions with the right projects, leaders at Meta are able to drive high results and cultivate productivity and innovation in their teams."

"I would say my greatest strength is that I have a pretty easygoing, super positive nature, and have been told multiple times that I have a nurturing and calming effect on those around me. I am able to lift others up when they're feeling low, have no problems going against the grain when I know it's right, and always choose to do the right thing. I always take the time to get to know people for who they are and show them my authentic self in exchange. I've always believed this is the best way to build relationships."

"People genuinely trust me. My boss always relies on me to get the job done, and my clients always feel comfortable when I handle their projects and campaigns because they know that I will care for them as if they were my own."

Great response; you may wish to explicitly use the word "dependable" to emphasize that you possess this positive trait.

"I can make anyone feel at ease in my presence, whether it is one of my direct reports from my juniors in my lab or one of the students I lead while working on my project. I like to get to know people's thinking process towards solving a challenging problem and explain my ideas to improve the situation. I believe the best co-worker relationships are built this way, as well."

"In the last decade, I have been outside of my home country, reinventing myself, eagerly forging my own path, connecting and learning from different people. My adventurous spirit, openness, adaptability are some of the things that are part of authentic me and I have been able to bring my unique self to work in the tech industry."
