At Meta, taking interviews for external candidates are considered as compulsory for Managers (for the people axis contribution). Managers are expected to take coding interviews at par with Sr. SDE level. Based on my experience at Amazon as Bar Raiser, 50% of SDM at Amazon are incompetent for coding interviews. A large number of them are TPM/Data Engineer/DBA background and has never done any Production coding (at max scripting). This is unacceptable at Meta. You are expected to evaluate candidates with 2 LC Medium in a 45 minute interview with a flawless code. And till you don't become proficient with coding interviews, you will not be allowed to do behavioral interviews. This is expected for M1s and M2s.

Why does leetcode get so much hate?
I like it when people like OP become gatekeepers of companies, acting as if they own it. Calm down, you’re just a tiny, tiny cog, no one would even bay an eye when you’re gone. Get off the high horse.
Are you saying don't interview or don't join? 😂
Fuck the smugness here. I wanna punch op in the face
One more datapoint about Amazon managers not having technical chops. A couple of years back on my previous job, new joiners had to go through a group project. There was an ex-Amazon manager in my group that contributed nothing to the project. We tried to include her several times, but she kept saying she was “rusty” in coding.
Jen? 😂
Bruh the way meta is tanking you don’t have too worry about this for much longer. I wonder how your cumulative LeetCode hard practice will save the company. PS: I hate Amazon too PPs: I’m reapplying when my cooldown ends
And you have the same script for LP questions at Amazon - "Tell me a time when you .......... in your pant"
The realibility of Software is rock solid. We don't get weekend pages as crazy as my time in AWS. The engineers will just give Manager a bad feedback if this ever happens.
Meta is so great and that’s why their vision is always behind the trend. They were late on mobile. They are now late on creator contents. They couldn’t get any of other new business to take off. Oculus? Give me a fuckin break. Apple just killed your business and your suckerberg didn’t see it coming. This is all happening because you got great eng managers who can whip out leetcode solutions in minutes. Plus, don’t act like you earn some badge because you work for a company. This whole membership/class mindset is toxic. It’s one of culture that I hate from Asian countries — judging people by which school or which family they come from. Wake up. You are a glorified json wrangler.

Seems like OP is repelling all the PIP masters at Amazon cause meta is planning to follow the PIP patterns 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
