Great Place to Work, but Leadership and Direction Can Be Chaotic
Great Place to Work, but Leadership and Direction Can Be Chaotic
Meta is generally a pretty great place to work. I get to work with driven people on really cool and interesting projects. Pay and benefits are the best I’ll probably see in my career. I’m normally given a lot of freedom and agency with how I approach my assigned projects. I get to work from home, and if I couldn’t, the closest daily shuttle is across the street from my place. I’m working on the coolest stuff I’ve encountered in my career.
The poorly executed layoffs that began in late 2022 killed motivation until very recently, when things rebounded.
Since 2022, projects and direction seemed to change every other week. The several reports during this period did not help, either.
Very cumbersome review process as well.

Meta Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
It was a fair process with well-defined steps, among them: coding, state design, and cultural fit. The interviewers were kind and fair. I had difficulties, but they resolved all my doubts.
Software Engineer
For phone screens, the questions are very typical, like LeetCode-style questions. Meta does not ask DP questions, in my observations. Practice Meta-tagged questions on LeetCode. Time is critical; you should be able to solve two questions in 45 minut
Data Engineer
The entire process is good, and interviewers are very friendly. The interview contains: * 1 Phone Screen * 3 VO (product sense + data modeling + SQL + Python) * 1 BQ (about 6 questions)
