I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
There were two interview rounds: the first was a one-hour technical interview involving a LeetCode-style coding problem, and the second was a one-hour research discussion centered on my previous publications, academic contributions, and relevance to the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st round (Coding): It was Leetcode hard, which was surprising to me as this was an interview for an internship. It was the LC 297 (Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree). I managed to provide a solution, but I am not sure if it was the correct one, but the interview went well overall.
2nd round (Research): It was a discussion with the hiring manager. During the first half of the interview, we discussed about one of my previous papers. In the second half, we discussed about my workflow when it comes to research and there were a also few behavioural questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
There was 1 research and 1 coding interview. The research interview consisted of 2 parts: in the first part, they asked questions about my publications, while the second part was a brainstorming session about a research problem.
I applied online. I interviewed at Meta in Apr 2026
Interview
1. ML design round: Asked a design question on ML compilers
2. LeetCode round: 2 easy-medium questions
Was not able to go deep into compiler design as I was not aware that is what was required for the position(never mentioned in description)

Question 1
1. ML design round: Asked a design question on ML compilers
I had two interviews: one for research fit, where I presented my own research and the interviewer asked a lot of open-ended questions and the second was 45 minutes of ML coding (no pytorch), which was not very hard.
