J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta (Palo Alto, CA) en févr. 2011
Entretien
They had a booth at my college job fair. I gave them my resume, and had a 1:1 interview at my college the day after. They called me at night to tell me I had made it trough the first interview and that they wanted to see me again. It went well so they invited me to Palo Alto for an on-site interview.
It was my first interview, so I might have been too stressed to think straight, but I feel like some questions were pretty hard. The first interviewers (they were 2) asked me easy questions, but the second (he gave no feedback at all) and the third interviewers asked hard questions. The last interviewer asked me: define a function that computes log2(). I gave him the Taylor expansion, and a newton's method approach, but he wanted something else... He wanted me to use sqrt(). I'm not sure whether he was assessing my skills at finding a solution given a weird constraint (e.g., use sqrt()), or if there is an obvious solution that I missed.
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.

Question 1
Given a string, determine if it is a valid palindrome considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring case.
