Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Meta en oct 2014
Entrevista
Contacted by recruiter via LinkedIn. Phone interview set up one week after contact.
Interviewer contacts you on day of interview and send you a link for an online document editor.
Interview lasted 45 mins.
The interviewer started off by asking me what my most interesting project is that I have worked on. This took less than 5 mins.
Then the interviewer gives you the rest of the time to solve a programming problem.
The last 5 mins or the remaining time you can ask the interviewer questions.
The question was fair. Not a brain teaser. Interviewer was very nice and helpful.

Pregunta 1
Given a matrix, calculate the sum of a sub matrix given the start and end indices of the submatrix
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.

Pregunta 1
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.

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.

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