Process
After passing the initial 20-minute phone screen with HR, I was set up for the next round. This was a screening interview split into two parts:
- Two LeetCode-style coding questions in 45 minutes.
- A completely verbal discussion focused on troubleshooting a new-to-you Linux-hosted website with known and new issues.

The PSC meta game
Production Engineer • Former Employee
Bellevue, Washington, United States
July 6, 2023
Pros: Free food, good pay. Some good and nice people working here. Interesting technology and problems.
Cons: The job becomes a lot about managing the PSC and competing at PSC level, and not about the job itself. It's kind of a performance meta-game, and sadly, a lot of success comes from how well you play this game, how well your position is suited to this game, and how you get others to accept your influence, solutions, tutoring, and direction.
It also depends a lot on how well your manager pitches for you and your team.
Lastly, how good do you feel working for Zuck and Meta? Is it improving the world?
Maybe you can decide on the Pros or Cons bucket for this one.
