Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 dias. Fui entrevistado pela Meta (Menlo Park, CA) em jan. de 2015
Entrevista
Two technical phone screen interviews and afterwards and invite to the Facebook University Day at a campus of my choice (Menlo Park, Seattle or NYC) - all expenses paid. On campus I had a final technical interview with one of the developers. The rest of the day was spent getting to know the campus and some of the newly hired developers as well as a Q&A with a senior developer.

Please tell me about a previous project of yours and what you would have to change in order to make it scale to millions of users.
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.
