Meta is not Facebook anymore
Interesting products and brilliant people around. Interesting, challenging tasks.
That's no more old Facebook. Old hacker culture is ruined by aggressive hiring and then by layoffs. People are discouraged. "Efficiency year" means everybody has more work than before; teams are understaffed.
Interesting products and brilliant people are around. Interesting, challenging tasks.
Most people believe that any fault could be counted for the next layoff. The review process is toxic; all your faults will be taken into account. The "game rules" are hidden.

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.
Senior Software Engineer
There were 5 rounds of interviews. The first round was with HR. The second round was a technical round with architecture questions. The next round involved a coding interview with detailed C++ 17 and C++ 20 features.

Two rounds: one coding interview for the first, and then two more: system design and behavioral for the second. All medium to easy LeetCode questions. Good experience, would do again.
