- Working at Palantir I'm considering a position at Palantir but from what I see there's a lot of hate going on.

Could someone please give me a honest common opini
- Facebook is creepy AF The world can move on without this one company existing. Sure, it has helped change the way people connect - but many companies in the past have done that and we will see many companies in the future do similar things too. But only FB has found creepy AF ways to make money harvesting our data and s
- Facebook preallocation-is this required? Hi all, I just got an E4 offer at FB and HR said I need to get a team before I join the company, and the reason is that they worry if I join the company I may fail if I select the wrong team during bootcamp. This is different when they let me know I can go through bootcamp (before the hiring commit
- Is this weird for me to do so? I interviewed a company and got rejected. I couldn't figure out what went wrong and they couldn't provide any feedback. So I messaged one of the interviewers through LinkedIn and asked him what area I shall improve. Is this appropriate? Hope he wouldn't find me as creepy.
- HR cold called as some other company!! I just stumbled upon a slack thread in the hr channel which mentioned that they did a cold calling to me before I joined. They pretended to be some other company and asked for scheduling interviews. All of my responses are there in that thread. WTH! Is this a common practice across the industry or
- Airbnb culture: the anti-Uber? I interviewed at Airbnb a few years ago, and my impression is that they were cultivating a really positive, yet creepy culture. Their culture fit interview wasn't too intense, but it did seem different from your average tech company. Looking at their PR, they really focus on community and warm fuzz
- Friday Fails: share the worst recruiting fails that you experienced as a candidate or an employee trying to hire someone We’ve all had bad recruiters try to get us to join their company. What were the most interesting, irritating, creepy, or weird ways that they tried to convince you? What were the most egregious recruiting fails that you’ve witnessed? I’ll start... Award for biggest fail: recruiter booked the inter
- vote Meta rant I saw a couple of posts/ poll later about what's great about Meta. I think the key point here is under the currrent leadership, the company is unlikely to do anything beneficial for users. Watch the keynote. What they envision is strapping users in a literally unreal world, just like how they have s
- Should I message recruiter on LinkedIn? Hi everyone. I applies for a SWE role (tech company in SEA) via Kalibbr. I see that my applications has been moved by the recruiter to "in review". It has been a week since then. My current observations are: 1. The job posting is ending in a few weeks... but it's hidden. I suppose they have reached
- vote “I would be interested in having engineering team hackathon offsites in cool locations with luxurious amenities.” Y/N My brown ass having gone full remote at the beginning of COVID, I look out my office window on my 20 acres in Montana watching the bald eagles hunt squirrels in my front hayfield as the snow falls, I have often thought how great this environment is for my productivity and creativity. My productivit
- vote PM interviewing failures. What to do next? Hey folks, I failed almost all PM interviews I could get. I have done intensive prep with many mock interviews, and I am realizing that I am just bad at interviewing. I love the product I work on at Microsoft, but it is so underfunded and it is constantly on 🔥. I cannot bear talking to another cu

Already had a phone interview w
- Eng Social Life @ Work Fellow blinders, Let’s put this to rest: I have friends with a wide variety of jobs and I always notice stark differences in the vibes of their coworkers and mine. (Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made some really close friends in the industry but) I wanted to pick your guys’ brains on if you ever also r
