Process
The process had several steps, led by interesting and knowledgeable interviewers. I even had fun during the process.
However, it overlapped with a wave of layoffs and a hiring freeze, so I didn't get the offer.

Tech Lead • Former Employee
Burlingame, California, United States
August 15, 2023
Pros: They pay well and let me work fully remote. At first, I got to do some interesting technical work. There are a lot of really smart people there from special effects and games because Meta pays much better than those industries.
Cons: When the "year of efficiency" started, everything went to hell. All the teams were rearranged, good people were sacked, and most of the interesting technical work disappeared. Leadership is immature. The only tool they use is sacking people and reorganizing. The typical cycle is 2 months of planning, engineers work their butts off for a while, teams reorganize and throw out all the work they just did, and the cycle starts over.
