I recently had on-site interview and received hiring committee review result for Software Engineer role at Facebook (Applied Machine Learning, AI Research & Ranking Teams). The result is to have follow up interview for ML practical design and Career / Coding round. I am familiar with what would be graded for coding round and system design, however not so familiar with how ML design interview is graded. Any help / advice for the preparation would be very appreciated.
What’s your background?
Ask your recruiter for advice. He or she will be able to help. Also, make sure he or she knows your background is in Infra so your interviewers are prepared to evaluate you properly. It's unusual to need to do both the ML and the Career interviews twice. You must have performed below expectations for your level to warrant that?
How did it go op, did you get in?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
In some companies it means desigining a solution for a ML problem outside the domain of your expertise. Care to talk about the interview process?
Thanks for the advice. I think the interview process was pretty standard. The recruiter reached out to me via my email (previously interviewed once as general software engineer, and did not get an offer. I was referred initially from my friend at Facebook). After short phone call with recruiter, tech phone screen was scheduled. It was straightforward leetcode question and I was invited to on-site. I had two coding round, one system design, one ML practical design, and career / coding round. I knew ML design and career / coding round did not go well, but I am glad they did not outright reject me. Hope this answers your question.
Nice! Congrats! YoE?
