Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 4 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Entrevista
The process consisted of multiple stages that took several months. First was a phone call with their in-house recruiter. Next was an optional practice interview (which was just like a regular screening interview). Next was the actual screening interview. If you pass the screening interview, you get moved on to the full-loop interview process. Mine consisted of two technical interviews, one behavior interview, and one API design interview (if I remember correctly). The entire interview process took place remotely (I forget which video meeting service was used).
After my full-loop interview, it took over six weeks to finally receive a rejection. The wait was intense.
The entire process took almost exactly 4 months.

Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with someone and how you resolved it.
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.

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