Money and Stress
Working at Meta is great for earning a top-of-the-market salary, enjoying great healthcare, RSUs, and free food.
They're paying you a lot of money and they want everything. Whenever you have work to do, you're expected to work 24/7 to get it done.
Everyone is working at the next level as if they're trying to get a promotion, but no one is getting a promotion.
Try to preserve the culture that the company had while Sheryl was there. Somehow, it seems so much colder now.

Meta Interview Questions
Meta Interview Experiences
Senior Software Engineer
Tree question. Couldn't give tips at all. Interviewer was disconnected and condescending for each reject in 45 minutes. Really terrible candidate experience. There have been few good experiences with Meta.
Data Engineer
First is the recruiter round, then a one-hour technical interview which included questions around SQL and Python. After that would be behavioural and other technical rounds. Other technical rounds would cover system design, etc.
Software Engineer
Pretty standard. Just grind LeetCode. They basically want you to make zero mistakes and solve problems like a robot. They don’t really care about your thought process, just that you find the most optimized solution ASAP.
