“traditional interviews for MLE. coding rounds are AI-enabled meaning you can use claude or codex to write the code.”
“The process was more rigorous than anything I’d done at other big tech companies, but the recruiter was accurate and helpful about what to prepare, which I really appreciated. A few things did catch me off guard: one round was more execution- and tradeoff-heavy than I expected, and the bar for structured, concise answers felt very high throughout. Overall, it was challenging but fair, and I came away with a positive impression of the process.”
“Casual and easy. Questions are standard and not difficult. there are many follow up questions though.”
“My interview process took a bit longer because a lot of sessions were rescheduled due to reorgs at Meta. Recruiter was helpful in providing guidance in between sessions”
“The questions weren't too difficult, and the interviewers were friendly enough.”
“The questions were concentrated to product sense and analytical thinking, but there were a lot of follow-up questions for each case.”
“Process was good and people were nice. I think it was rushed at times on back to back interview so better to break them. ”
“Process was nice, hard questons, too many interjections by interviwers. But structured responses can sail you through”
“Meta is still leetcode heavy and medium to hard questions should be expected. Since it's leetcode style interview you can predict the out come and also prepare easily. What didn't go well - For the second question couldn't walk-though the code with example due to time constraint. - I spent too much time explaining my approach for both problems. Overall keep your thoughts concise and finish the code first to quickly finish both questions.”

“The weirdest Anthropic round was the company values interview. It was almost like a therapy session, and honestly if you went to a therapist at some point, you will pass that round much more easily.”
“What was very unusual is they didn’t give me any tooling to draw the system design, so I just sketched it on a piece of paper and talked them through it, then we got into this oddly deep debate about whether hover-over history should count as a recommendation signal.”
