Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta en sept 2014
Entrevista
I was contacted from a recruiter through Linkedin. I reply with my updated resume and the times for a phone call. The recruiter call me back the same week and ask about general background and some JavaScript questions, maybe because I commented about wanted to work in UI. The call took about 30 min. Two days later I received an email with a code challenge. After I delivered the challenge, two days later I got an email about not moving forward in my interview process.
In general the recruiter was super helpful with all the questions that I had.
Took about a month from start to finish, which felt longer than I expected. After a couple of initial phone screenings, I faced a challenging technical round focused on system design. It was during this round that I was asked to describe overcoming a major career challenge. Interestingly, I had just reviewed a similar framework on PracHub, which helped me articulate my thoughts clearly. Overall, I appreciated the depth of the process and ended up accepting the offer.

Describe Overcoming a Major Challenge in Your Career
The entire process usually takes 3–8 weeks, depending on scheduling and the specific role. Coding interviews heavily emphasize common DSA topics such as arrays, strings, trees, graphs, BFS/DFS, heaps, hash maps, and dynamic programming. System design becomes increasingly important for E4+ positions.

Given an array of integers and a target value, return the indices of two numbers that add up to the target
Unexpectedly, the first question in the technical round felt familiar. It was about finding a subset of strings with unique character concatenation — same problem I had worked through on PracHub a few days earlier. The interview included a recruiter screen followed by a rigorous pair of technical interviews where I tackled data structures and algorithms alongside system design concepts. After successfully answering a few more challenging DSA questions, I received an offer. The entire experience was intense but ultimately rewarding, and I happily accepted the position.
