A good place to start a career
A good place to start a career
Work is hard, and there's lots of it, so it's not what I'd call a "cushy" job. But if you're not lazy and have what it takes to pass the legendary interviews, you will likely do well.
It still feels like the company is run by engineers, even though that's not really the case anymore.
And yeah, there's free food (3 times a day), soda, a gym membership, and so on and so forth.
Management quality is clearly below what's required for a company of this size. It's incredibly difficult for someone senior to get up to speed to a degree where they'd feel comfortable.
Hire good middle management or promote internally.

LeetCode basically doesn't care about experience or brains. LeetCode is kinda weird, though. But what can you expect from FAANG besides that? Just save your time and energy and apply to a real software company.
