Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

Recruiter call.

60-minute technical interview.

4-hour interview day.

No one allowed me to introduce myself. I've never had so many interviews where the person conducting it seemed to be trying to get through it ASAP.

I asked one of them if they could tell me more about Meta's work environment, particularly its people-centric approach. She declined, saying they had just had layoffs (this was before the recent ones that went viral) so she didn't feel good about talking about the company caring for its employees.

They all seemed sad or had an air of over-self-importance.

I didn't do well, but there was no love lost from my side. I will never want to try to work here, ever.
