Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 5 dias. Fui entrevistado pela Meta (Menlo Park, CA) em mar. de 2017
Entrevista
A recruiter contacted me and offered a phone screen.
The task was simple, I completed it, but didn't pass the screen. The feedback was --
"Allocated an extra flag that wasn't needed". The flag was, actually, used, and needed.
So, they made up a reason to fail me. That is called prejudice.

Pergunta 1
Parse a string containing numbers and "+", "-" and parentheses. Evaluate the expression.
-2+(3-5) should return -4.
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
1 leetcode med, 1 leetcode hard. make sure you know your DSA and leetcode questions. I wasn't able to get an offer bc i didnt complete the second question. Got a reply 2 days later saying they would move on
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
