Extremely

Hey. I recently interviewed for Meta’s Detection and Response Security Engineer Internship and had my first round interview. I was told by the recruiter it would consist of 3 parts: a behavioral section, a section regarding general security concepts and then a leetcode question. The behavioral section was pretty standard,Then we get to the technical section. The interview proceeds to ask me “if you were an attacker and wanted to make Meta look bad how would you do it”. At first I was kinda shocked because this doesn’t have much to do with my role, I did my best to answer the question anyways and thought this section would consist of various questions so I can at least nail the other ones. But no this was the only question he asked with deeper and deeper follow-ups. Eventually we got to a point where I was describing a scenario where I run a phishing campaign on meta employees. He then proceeds to ask me “if you successfully got login info but the user had MFA and an authentication code is sent to their phone number, How would you bypass that”. I was just left thinking am I really supposed to know all this. We then move on to the leetcode section. But since my interviewer took too long with followups. I only had 14 mins left in the interview to solve this problem(this was before he even described the problem). Luckily it was a straightforward medium question that I was able to solve but we had no time to go over test cases. I had the chance to ask one question and then it ends. Then a couple days later I get the standard rejection email. The whole process is just so stupid, why am I getting asked questions that don’t have much to do with my role.its also just insane how these interviews are organized.Students are expected to know software engineering,security concepts in depth,grinding leetcode FOR A SECURITY POSITION,and knowing system design, all this for an intern position designated for juniors in college. Is anyone genuinely passing these interviews or am I just stupid. My friend also interview for the same position but for the offensive security role in which he was asked a similar question(this question actually makes sense for him since it’s offensive security) Then when he moved to the leetcode section and successfully solved the problem. His interviewer then asked him to hack coderpad. Like what and ofc he got rejected shortly after too. I just feel like companies need to actually control who interviews and not let it be some random engineer just going through their day. I’ve been in several interview process where they just don’t seem to care and just want to get it over with. Or they ask questions that don’t pertain to the role for some weird reason Idk just need to rant and get this off my chest. 1/4 in interviews so far and I just feel like giving up
