Interview
Recruiter call then 2 live coding exercises each 45 min. Did well on first, but second was on binary trees and I had not prepped for that. You will need to do a lot of leetcode prep even for PhD level roles.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
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.
