I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Paris)
Interview
there was one coding session including two questions similar to the medium question on the leetcode website, followed by an online interview with the professor and one of the PhD students.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
in the online interview, they asked me to explain how transformers and attention mechanism work.
Went through two interviews. One for roughly an hour interview based on CV and their project related questions (They gave me some scratch pad and then brainstorm about the project topic together).
Another round with coding interview (online and had to share my screen with the interviewer). The questions were attention from scratch and leetcode format question.
Interview went pretty well. Standard questions that you would expect. Nothing too out of the ordinary from a normal interview process. Looking forward to hearing back from them either way.
