I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Standard AI scientist loop. Presentation on your research, AI coding, in domain and out of domain interviews along with a behavioral interview. ML fundamentals as well. 7 rounds of interviews total, making it quite difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the loss of a model with randomly initialized weights?
7 Interviews, didn't receive an offer after the final round. Time-consuming process, which includes multiple rounds of technical interviews (design, coding, behavior, etc.) and a 1-hour research talk. The team leader was unpleasant to interact with.
recruiter call, technical interview, research interview, and job talk (presentation), hiring manager interview, everything was organized in the website so it was easy to navigate through the process, and recruiter was always responding super quickly
