Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Meta (Menlo Park, CA) nel mese di gen 2016
Colloquio
I was referred internally by my friend. I attended a phone interview after contacted by a recruiter. The interviewer actually told me directly on the phone that I should work more on my coding skill. So I was totally surprised to learn that the interviewer's feedback was positive and they'll continue with my application.
All the following process was mostly coordinated by another recruiter, who is very responsive and I greatly appreciate his help. The on-site interview had 2 sessions before noon and 3 after, with the last one and lunch time not being evaluated.
Originally I was told that I'll hear the result the next week, but instead I waited 2 weeks and learned that I didn't make it. The recruiter did emphasize that I was really close, and also let me know that it was the system design question that I didn't perform well. (There was yet another coding question that I found difficult, but the recruiter told me that they had no problem with my coding skill.)
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.

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
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.

Domanda 1
Given an array of strings, pick a subset whose concatenation contains no duplicate characters, and return the maximum possible length of that concatenation.
