I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
1 Screening interview
6 Full-loop interviews including coding, basic ml, 2 research oriented, behavioral, research presentation.
After the screening, you will get noticed to conduct the full-loop interviews. For coding, you don't have to worry about leetcode-type question - it is more related to your research based coding questions. For research oriented question, interviewers may ask challenging questions regarding the research topic that you have been studied.
For research presentation - you will have to prepare for 50min presentation regarding your research during your phd years.

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.
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
