Process
All interactions I had were friendly and professional.
An in-house recruiter reached out to me and scheduled an initial chat. Afterwards, I was given a link to a career portal where I was able to schedule a technical screen.
During the tech screen, they asked two LeetCode-style questions.
Questions

The company changed a ton during COVID
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
December 14, 2022
Pros: Can work from home.
Good food at the office.
Cons: Most of the benefits are now suspended, except for the basic ones like medical and pension. We used to have great perks pre-COVID, but now it’s all gone. The Reality Labs org is crazily mismanaged. Projects get canceled all the time, and engineers struggle to find meaningful work, especially in London.
