Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 2 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Meta
Colloquio
I went to my college's career fair and dropped off my resume with Facebook, we had a nice chat. Next week, they sent me an e-mail asking me to come in for a first-round interview on campus. The day before the interview, we had a nice meet and greet in the computer science tea room. They were very friendly, and we got to know each other better. The next day, I had my first interview. It comprised of a few technical questions, and runtime analysis which I think I answered correctly. In the evening, they e-mailed me telling me I've made it to the second (final) round. However, I did not manage to complete the second round challenge within the time limit, and I was not given an offer.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Given an array of distinct integers, and a target integer t, compute all of the subsets of the array that sum to t, where order matters. (I was given ~20 minutes to solve this)
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.

Domanda 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.

Domanda 1
How do you answer if someone asks how long a deliverable or project will take?

Colloquio
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.

Domanda 1
Given an array of integers and a target value, return the indices of two numbers that add up to the target
