A headhunter reached out and scheduled an interview. I had an interview with "another manager of three teams." They were very courteous, but very unprofessional.
The only question asked was how I conduct my 1:1s. They bounced all over my resume, picking random companies.
The only technical question was mine. This makes me very worried. Does Facebook not consider any technical value in people who have done scaling?
If you want to be successful in an interview, be young (<30 years old) and technologically ignorant. That's the demographic they are looking for.
How do you do 1:1s with your team members?
Not a single technical question. It makes me wonder what Facebook will be in 5 years.
Are they really only interested in getting people who know nothing and letting them run loose?
