I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2024
Interview
2 interviews, 1 hour each
One is more general while the other one is project specific and is much more technical.
No coding test, but the technical part can get very deep.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
There was 1 research and 1 coding interview. The research interview consisted of 2 parts: in the first part, they asked questions about my publications, while the second part was a brainstorming session about a research problem.
I had two interviews: one for research fit, where I presented my own research and the interviewer asked a lot of open-ended questions and the second was 45 minutes of ML coding (no pytorch), which was not very hard.
there is one coding round, just two lc easy questions, and 1 research round, asked about my research papers, gave hypothetical situation and asked for specific model architecture design details. Overall was pretty normal and not hard.
