Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 5 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta en ago 2024
Entrevista
Spoiler: This was my second time doing a Meta onsite with no offer.
A Meta recruiter reached out to me, as they do every year, and invited me to do a technical phone screen. I passed and went to the onsite. I didn't hear back for like 2 weeks so I contacted my recruiter a few times for potential feedback, since I thought I did well, and a request to possibly be down-leveled (this was mentioned to me as a possibility during my prep call) but was ignored and got an automated rejection email. They also didn't honor my request to speak with someone at Meta about the company, which is an option in the candidate portal. Bad experience. The coordinator also rescheduled my onsite 3 different times. I'm kinda over the idea of working at Meta now.
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.

Pregunta 1
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.
