"The process was very easy. The questions were not difficult but I didn't have a strong delivery of my answers as I didn't prepare a strong STAR approach."

"Interview process went well. It was an internal job posting. Recruiter screen went well and then I spoke with the hiring manager. He then wanted to talk to my current manager at the time to ensure I would be a good fit."

"Very strong interviewers who know what they are looking for and prompt you in the direction needed.
The product sense question seemed too narrow in scope and was phrased in a tricky way where traditional structure could not fit in to solve the problem."

"I applied directly on the website with no referral and went through a pretty Google-like process. The loop was a basic recruiter chat, then a surprisingly hard LeetCode-style coding screen, then a final loop with another coding round, an ML coding round, an ML system design round, and two behavioral rounds. What really stood out was that the coding bar felt basically software-engineer level, not a watered-down MLE bar, and then on top of that they still expected solid ML depth. The strangest round for me was the final coding interview because it was more practical and diagram-based than I expected, while the behavioral rounds went deeper into the technical details of my projects than most companies do. Do not under-prepare on DSA just because the title says machine learning."

"I first cleared the loop for a different Meta EM role and, while I was waiting in team matching, they opened an M1 security role and asked me to do the delta interviews for that. For the security path, the structure was recruiter screen, two technical screens, and then a six-round final loop covering security system design, security depth, coding, career motivation, people management, and project retrospective. The technical rounds were not the hardest part for me because the coding was pretty easy and the design rounds were very framework-driven. The rounds that mattered most were people management and project retrospective, and I actually got more push there because the examples had to map cleanly to the signal. I cleared the loop, and am waiting on next steps."

"Overall pretty straightforward, their interviews are pretty standard and are not there to surprise you. Recruiter and interviewers were professional."
