Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The process took two months. A recruiter reached out because there was an open referral. Then there were two technical interviews two weeks later, and a final full loop of three rounds one week after clearing the first two technical rounds. I got rejected a week later. Meta needs candidates who can solve two questions in 45 minutes.

Pros: Excellent working environment. People are also kind. The hardware equipment is very high class, allowing people to fully focus on their own work.
Cons: So stressful. The manager keeps pushing people, and there's even no time to take a break. I ended up getting laid off because of performance, which is really not a good experience working in the company overall, speaking.
