Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 1 día. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta (New York, NY) en feb 2015
Entrevista
Worst interview I've ever had. The interviewer had a very thick accent, the simple problem was purposely conveyed in the most convoluted way possible, and the phone line they were using was not a great connection. It took me 30 mins, just to understand what she was talking about. Even after that, I still got the problem mostly correct (except for one small error), and then was told it was "totally wrong". This indicates that Facebook interviewers are poorly trained, arrogant, and encouraged to needlessly complicate interview problems. Would never interview with them again. But whatever, I would have accepted the offer I got from Google anyway.

Ensure that there are a minimum of n dashes between any two of the same characters of a string.
Example: n = 2, string = "ab-bcdecca" -> "ab--bcdec--ca"
(dead simple problem, however it was expressed as some complicated event system.)
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.

Given a string, determine if it is a valid palindrome considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring case.
