      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      Phone screening and a technical interview that was mainly leetcode questions and had nothing to do with machine learning. I was first excited about the opportunity, but the interview preparation is a lot of work. For someone as busy as I am, I just don’t have the time to go back and learn stuff that is on Leetcode. I am an experienced Machjne Learning professional. This type of questioning is beyond me. Still, I did put in three weeks of training and freshening up as much as I can. I got two questions in my interview. I solved the first one with the optimal answer in seconds, and for the second one I took about 5 minutes to think about it. Apparently that was not enough to make it.y personal opinion, this is a horrible experience and I do not respect the company after this. This is equivalent to me as buying a Ferrari then asking me about the bike I used to ride when I was 10 years old. I had so much knowledge and experience to share in Machine Learning, but instead let’s solve a Leetcode problem that has nothing to do with Machine Learning at all to measure my skills in a field that I do not even work in.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard medium or hard Leetcode questions
      Answer question
      6

      Application

      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

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked a game question in one coding round and in the other one they asked a graph based repository question
