I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
Very technical interview, the interviewer didn’t even go through the “introduce yourself” formalities, opened straight with the Leetcode question. Overall, didn’t enjoy the interview, felt very impersonal. There were two leetcode-style questions to solve within 40 minutes on whiteboard. Company is very focused on reducing latency, so if that’s not something you particularly enjoy as a technical challenge,
might not be the best fit (as was in my case)
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter or screening conversation about my background, research experience, technical skills, and interest in the role. The interviewer also asked behavioral questions about past projects, teamwork, and how I handled technical challenges. Overall, the process felt clear and professional.

Question 1
Data structures and algorithms, leetcode style medium and easy
They ask the normal standard DSA questions that you would expect for an internship like LeetCode mediums. I think there were two rounds of technical interviews before the offer stage.
