Software Engineer, Machine Learning Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
First, there was a phone-in with the FB recruiter. It was good, and they scheduled an online coding one-to-one interview with an engineer. It was comparatively easy, and in two days, I received a message that the interview was successful and there would be a virtual onsite interview with the FB ML Team in London.
FB recruiters are really helpful when preparing for interviews. They are the best!
The onsite interview had five rounds: Behavioral, two coding rounds, System Design, and ML Design. The coding rounds were average, with problems similar to LeetCode, and it's important to prepare well in advance. System Design and ML Design focused more on how one would approach problems in real-life scenarios.
