Process
The interviewer asked two LeetCode medium questions in 30 minutes. It was fast-paced.
One question involved a stack, and the other was about in-order traversal. The interviewer just cared about solving the coding questions.

Meta Work Experiences

Toxic people competing against each other
Software Engineer • Former Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
September 18, 2024
Pros: Money for the stress it gives.
Cons: Very bad culture due to the fear of getting fired. The work is futile in most departments, and people come up with ways to extend work just to show it in feedback cycles. Managers throw people under the bus who are working tirelessly and stressed throughout. There are people who are playing the system; it's a game, really, not a workplace where engineering is done at its best. It's 1% engineering and the rest is gaming the system.
