Process
This recruiter was very creepy. I was contacted no less than 25 times over a two-month period through various channels, including LinkedIn direct messages, email, and phone.
The recruiter even called and left a message on Memorial Day while I was at Arlington. Against my better judgment, I responded and set up a time with the recruiter. She ghosted me with a no-call-no-show. She did apologize and rescheduled, and she actually made good the second time.
I completed a career profile on their website. After speaking with her, she said she was going to contact me again and email me some information within hours. Ten days later, I never heard back. I just received a reminder to complete a quiz on their site.
I've never done this in my 20 years, but I got the name of the recruitment supervisor and called him. I explained the inappropriate volume of communication followed by ghosting, and that calls on Memorial Day to service members cannot be tolerated. I stated that I am not interested in employment now or at any time in the future, and requested to not be contacted in the future for any reason.

Meta Work Experiences
- 4.0IMPACT, but at what cost?Production Engineer • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesOctober 2, 2020Pros: The classic FAANG perks, the sick campus, the IMPACT.Cons: The fact that the CEO keeps getting dragged in front of Congress to answer for calamities FB policies enable is a bit of a downer, I will say.
- 1.0Mader redundant after 1 month of workProduction Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomNovember 10, 2022Pros: - All solutions are in-house software, so lots of coding and system designs to learn. - High impact starting from the first week.Cons: - Zero transparency - Management lives in their own bubbles
- 2.0Wanted to love itProduction Engineer • Current EmployeeBellevue, Washington, United StatesMarch 10, 2023Pros: Salary/perks/401k contributions. A lot of really smart people to learn from and grow your skills. Well-seasoned "engineers at heart". Access to incredible scale (of systems) not present outside of FAANG. If you get lucky, you'll get a good manager who has your back and maintains integrity and helps you grow. If you're even luckier, you'll get into a functional team with reasonable expectations.Cons: * Lots of toxic senior people and management that will use any excuse to cut you down and lie to your face repeatedly without consequences. * Lots of insufferable politics that leave services in a terrible state, and the team ends up with a really high turnover rate because no one wants to stay. * Extreme, constant, and unnecessary pressure to "perform" that may leave you with poor mental and physical health. * If there are no metrics to back anything you've invested effort into in order to do it right or better for the long term, it didn't happen and it doesn't matter. * Be prepared to constantly defend your entire existence and worth, especially if you're an early-career engineer. There's no trust in engineers, only engineers who become at least part-time politicians. Be prepared to become a blogger so you can advertise everything you're doing to people who don't care by posting to internal groups so that it looks good in front of management and is easier to "sell" during performance evaluations. An introvert's nightmare. * There's no "bottom-up" culture anymore; you do what you're told, or else.
