I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Phoenix, AZ) in Apr 2025
Interview
Applied online.
Round 1: Recruiter call + immigration questions (H-1B history).
Round 2: Technical screen with engineering manager – 2 LeetCode DSA questions, 1 medium and 1 hard.
Final Round: ML system design + infra product sense questions. Focus on scalability, pipelines, and deployment. Career portal is very nicely designed to track progress, fill out questionnaires and prep for forthcoming interviews. Recruiter was prompt and kept me posted at all time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
DSA medium question - binary tree search, hard question - heaps and graphs
2 coding rounds each with leet code easy then a leet code medium / hard.
1 ML system design
1 ML model design
1 Cultural interview
Key is to know the cultural and model design.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
ML model design was about how to extract text from images. Specifically semi-structured text like street signs or licenseplates from random photos.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (London, England) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview itslef was ok-ish and most of the questions were fair. Some of the coding interviews were unexpected, but I guess it was more about trying to check the boundarids
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Remove puncutation and special charecter from a string and identify wether it is a plaindrom.
Recruiter call (Wasn't a friendly person, very negative)
Tech screen (2 medium/hard leetcode in 30mn)
2 coding rounds (2 medium/hard leetcode in 30mn), 1 ML design (Generic recommender question), 1 behavioral.
Fair process imo.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Make sure you answer a in a metric driven way. Every behavioral had a subtle "How did you move the needle" even if the interviewer tried not saying it.
