The salary, once adjusted for Bay Area cost of living and taxes, isn't competitive with similar positions in other locations (such as Google's Seattle office, which has similar compensation but with half rent and no state income tax).
Vacation time is very limited (3 weeks), particularly for people coming from other countries, where 4-5 weeks is usually a legal minimum. If you're moving away from your family, consider how hard it'll be to keep in touch given this limitation. Consider the fact that you're losing 1-2 weeks paid time off when you look at the compensation.
Relocation bonuses are paid after relocation, so you need to be able to pay them upfront prior to relocating.
Give employees more vacation time, particularly international employees who need to leave their families.
Make Bay Area employment more worthwhile or move teams elsewhere.
First, an online assessment, then the HR call, then several rounds of technical interview (you need to solve data structure/algorithm problems), and finally a manager interview (mostly behavioral questions).
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.
The first round was behavioral, focusing on STAR method-type questions. They mostly asked about being a team player and having a positive attitude. This was followed by three LeetCode rounds. Two medium and one medium-hard question were asked durin
