Before we discuss this question, let us recap what the Behavioral Interview Round at Facebook is.

1. Behavioral Interview Round is also known as the Jedi Interview round at Facebook.

2. It is about you and your history, your résumé, and your motivation.

3. The purpose of this interview is to assess whether the candidate will thrive in Facebook's peer-to-peer, minimal process, and unstructured engineering organization.

For Software Engineers, the behavioral interview is actually part behavioral and part coding. The coding part is a shorter version of the usual coding interviews and is included to supplement the other two coding interviews to get an additional coding signal.
