Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta en dic 2014
Entrevista
1. I was contacted by a Facebook recruiter on LinkedIn.
2. She arranged a coding phone screen. It was about an hour long, and assessed programming & algorithmic problem solving skills.
3. After I passed the phone screen, I was invited to an onsite interview, which was about 6 hours long. Each session lasted about 45 minutes. Five sessions involved programming questions on dynamic programming, data structures, system design, algorithmic complexity. One session was almost purely behavioral, even though I was applying for a software engineering position.

Pregunta 1
Dynamic programming questions that were pretty standard yet tricky.
Got a referral through a friend who worked at Meta, which sped up the entire process. After a casual initial chat, I went through a technical interview where I faced a DSA question about validating palindromes. The interviewer was friendly but rigorous. During prep, I had spent time with the coding challenges on PracHub, and it was funny to see a similar palindrome question pop up. Overall, I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it after careful consideration.

Pregunta 1
Given a string s, return true if it can be a palindrome after deleting at most one character (Valid Palindrome II).
Recruiter call was pretty standard, first round was 2 Meta tagged LC mediums in 45 minutes. On-site was 2 coding sessions of 2 LC mediums, a system design interview and a behavioral interview with an engineering manager.

Pregunta 1
How do you answer if someone asks how long a deliverable or project will take?
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.
