Stressful Layoffs, Rewarding Tech
Stressful Layoffs, Rewarding Tech
- Tech is cool, and you learn a lot.
The frequent layoffs can be a source of stress and make people burn out.
If you want great people to stay, invest in making your employees feel valued.
It initially felt that management was really advocating for belief in the mission and product. However, that has since changed, and it appears that management believes compensation is sufficient for retention. It is not.
Many engineers at the company are sad due to recent policy changes and are not performing well.
My advice would be to rethink how the company treats its employees.

Meta Interview Questions
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.

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

The interview I had with a software engineer at Meta was a LeetCode challenge in a web IDE, but without running the code. It was a typical process: one easy question was asked and one medium question was asked.
