I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2025
Interview
Screening call, software, ML and system design interview, you have to pass each one to get to the next one, last step is cultural fit and interview with a manager to know the available areas and projects
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode code, previous experience, ML projects I have worked on
The interview process went well, went through 2 coding rounds, 1 design and 1 behavior, the coding is two easy questions per round. I think the interviewer expect you to have a good understanding of the algo and want you to talk through it, instead of just implementing it.

Question 1
All the questions are common meta style questions, easy and standard
Applied online. Received a recruiter screen within two weeks covering background and role fit. Followed by a technical phone screen with coding (LeetCode medium-hard, arrays/graphs). Then a virtual onsite with 4 rounds: 2 coding, 1 ML system design (recommendation/ranking system), and 1 behavioral. Interviewers were professional and gave time to ask questions. Results communicated within a week post-onsite.
First stage was a screen round with behavioral and 2 leetcodes, one medium one hard, 15-17 min each. If selected, loop is 4-6 interviews. 2 desgin, 2 coding, 1 behavioral.
