Great offices. Beautiful industrial design. Brushed aluminum everywhere, literally aluminum couches. Time to do your own thing a lot. Everyone is interesting and talented. They don't care about your GPA or school; it's all about how well you interview.
The couches get cold since they are made out of aluminum. The reviews are not frequent enough, and therefore, when you get feedback, it can be a surprise. Everything comes from the top down; not a lot of ideas are suggested. You make your way up and then you earn the right to tell others what to do.

The interview process was definitely rigorous. The coding challenge pushed me to think critically, but it was also a great way to showcase my problem-solving skills. The interviewers were friendly and approachable, which helped calm my nerves.

This was an iOS Engineer role. Basic questions on Swift were asked. A basic LeetCode question on hashmaps was presented. I was not impressed by the engineer's knowledge. Working in FAANG does not necessarily mean you will work with smart people.

I was first contacted by email to set up a phone screen. The phone screen consisted of questions about past experience (e.g., the hardest problem you ever had to solve) and no technical problem-solving. This was then followed by an on-site interview
