J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta
Entretien
The interview process was straightforward:
Phone screening -> coding interview -> 4 interviews (two coding, one behavioral, one system design interview)
The coding interviews were decent and not too difficult. They used a couple of tree and graph problems. They asked a lot about time and space complexity of the code I designed.
Behavioral was about my past experience and how I would act in a given situation.
The system design interview was a bit more difficult. I studied for this one as it was my first time doing it, but they threw me a curve ball and asked me to design a component I was not aware of from a technical standpoint.

Question 1
Design an HTTP interpreter for a web browser (or something like that).
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.

Question 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.

Question 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.

Given an array of integers and a target value, return the indices of two numbers that add up to the target
