Current YOE - 6-7 years\nApplied on Careers page, got contacted by recruiter who scheduled the interviews. \nOverall process took around 1-2 months. \n\nNote:\nIt was told that the expectations from a ML engineer are the same as that for a SWE as far as coding rounds were concerned. Most of the questions asked in the interviews are all tagged FB on LC (as expected in case of FB).\n\n\n**Virtual Screen**\n\nOne medium and one hard, the questions were similar to these two:\n\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/continuous-subarray-sum/\n\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/merge-k-sorted-lists/\n\n\n**Virtual Onsite**\n\n*Coding Round 1:*\n\nTwo mediums - Similar to these two:\n\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/leftmost-column-with-at-least-a-one/\n\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/lru-cache/\n\n*Coding Round 2*\n\nThree mediums - two of them follow up of each other. Similar questions from LC:\n\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/tree-diameter/\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/diameter-of-n-ary-tree/\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/diameter-of-binary-tree/\n\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/next-greater-element-i/\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/next-greater-element-ii/\n\n\n*Behavioral round*\n\nGeneral questions on past experience, some technical questions on past projects, conflict resolution, conflict with manager etc.\n\n\n\n*ML Design round*\n\nDesign a places recommendation system for Maps.  (to show places recommendations when you open Google Maps, FB nearby page etc.)\n\n\n*System Design round*\n\n\nDesign a global search feature for whatsapp status posts. (imagine everyone has whatsapp text statuses uploaded everyday which keep getting posted and removed, implement a search on top of this that scales to whatsapp scale).\n\n\n----\n\n\nFeedback came in after a week saying I was rejected based on my performance in design rounds (as they were expecting me to take more initiative and lead the design rounds, due to this being a senior role). Coding rounds went well as I was able to solve the questions ~10 minutes before in all the rounds.\n\nI couldn\'t manage my time well in design rounds so this was expected. I spent way too much time on depth of some components before covering the breadth of the problem and left out some important parts by the end of the interview, especially in the SD round. I was asked to reapply in a year.\n\nIt has been a few months since I gave these interviews, so I tried to recall the questions as best I can. Hope this helps anyone else preparing. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!\n
