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).
J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta en oct. 2014
Entretien
Met the recruiters at the university carer fair and got a call a week after that. Had my interview on campus within that week. Got back my results 2 weeks later. The overall process took less than 3 weeks. The interviewers are friendly and will give hints in between to keep you getting closer to solution. This was a 1 on 1 interview and coding had to done on white paper. The questions are straight forward but need to take into consideration all corner cases when giving your algorithm. Also the code needs to be clean, so think carefully before starting to just code. Also practice writing code on white paper as when you are doing it you tend to scratch out code in between and that reflects bad.

Question 1
There were two questions based on string manipulation.
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.
