Other Software Engineer - Machine Learning Interview Reviews for Meta
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in May 2026
Interview
April 26 Recruiter reached out with the assessment which includes a repository coding questions in which you need to pass 4 different tests and other is General Work style assessment.
May 6 recruiter reached out to schedule 4 loop interviews
May 13 First interview was AI ML System design Performed well in this one but was a little short in time
Second and third was AI enabled coding interview in which the interviewer mentioned that use of AI won't penalize the results so I used it explained my thinking, wrote a nice prompt to AI which corrected all the code and passed all test cases in both round and this is where it went wrong I think I need to also write some code by myself but if they have given AI model and asking to use it then what is the requirement of taking a coding round rather than this they should take a DSA coding round to check the coding skills.
Fourth round was general behavioral questions which went well as well
