Renhao demonstrated strong leadership and communication skills during the behavioral round. His answers reflected both depth of experience and clarity of thought, particularly in describing large-scale infrastructure projects and navigating cross-team conflicts.

Areas of strength included:

• Clear, structured introduction: emphasized tenure, scope of responsibilities, and impact (e.g., 70% traffic metric).
  
  
• Strong storytelling on project initiation, breaking down problems into sub-problems (security and performance).
  
  
• Demonstrated ownership in resource allocation and team scaling.
  
  
• Effective stakeholder management approach with one-pagers and SVP alignment.
  
  
• Good reflection on failure stories with learnings tied to adapting to a new team’s culture.
  
  
• Concise and well-framed example for negative feedback, with concrete follow-up actions.
  
  

Areas for improvement:

• When discussing project shifts, avoid overstating allocation (e.g., 60% of engineers) — balance realism with ambition.
  
  
• For conflict questions, start with a concise STAR framing and articulate the conflict more clearly up front.
  
  
• Dive deeper into reasoning behind other teams’ decisions (e.g., prioritization trade-offs, resource buffers, risk planning).
  
  
• Include measurable impact when describing failures (e.g., user adoption %, revenue, or availability metrics).
  
  
• For negative feedback stories, prepare higher-scope scenarios (E6–E7 level) to demonstrate leadership maturity and scale.
  
  

Overall, Renhao shows strong potential for Meta’s behavioral expectations. With additional polish in quantifying impact and framing conflicts/feedback at a higher scope, he will be well-positioned for success in upcoming interviews.
