Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta (Sunnyvale, CA) en feb 2025
Entrevista
The interviewer was very friendly. There were two questions in total, and the time was a bit tight. The interviewer informed me in advance that each question had a 20-minute limit, and if I couldn't finish the first question within the allotted time, I had to stop and move on to the second one. The questions weren't too difficult, and I was able to complete them relatively smoothly. The environment didn't allow code execution, so I could only dry run the solutions and explain the algorithm and key steps to the interviewer. Overall, it was a good experience.

One question was about strings, and the other was a simple binary search problem.
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.

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.

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.

Given an array of strings, pick a subset whose concatenation contains no duplicate characters, and return the maximum possible length of that concatenation.
