I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied one of reserach scientist internship at Meta, but it did not move forward at first time. But after a few months, HR told me to have an interview for that position. It was something weird.
I took two interviews, one is for research background, and the other for live coding test. Research background interview went well in my opinion, but I could not complete the coding even though I explained all detailed algorithm for given problem. The interviewer always ask me a time complexity for the algorithms.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please implement K-means clustering from scratch. They did not give anything, such as header or something else. I just coded from nothing, empty coderpad.
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.
