I recently got contacted by a Meta recruiter for a remote AR/VR position in Canada. Wasn't really thinking about leaving Unity but after getting a 2% increase on base and a ~50K refresher with no plan for promotion in sight, I decided to give it a go. Had the initial conversation with the recruiter a few days ago and I went from "meh" to "can't wait for the technical interview". The recruiter mentioned that the interview process would be one of the hardest ever, only because Meta hires only the top talent. I've been working on the same project at Unity for almost 2 years now at an IC6 and none of my managers seem to know what I should do to get promoted to an IC7. WLB at Unity has been good so far, WFH from 9-5, there are the odd times where I start earlier or end later for a meeting or so. - How does progression at Meta work? - The position sounds like a lead role between level 5 or 6, should I expect to get put in level 5 (I heard they always downlevel you)? - What kind of TC should I expect for a remote Canada? - I can't seem to find enough resources talking about the benefits package in Canada either, anyone has any insight? - How does vacation days work? - Does anyone know what the WLB is like for the AR/VR gaming team at Meta is? (Sounds like the Oculus team from the recruiter) TC: 200K (CAD) YOE: 14 #unity #meta #ar #vr #tech
I thought meta was predominantly Leetcode? Don’t understand why recruiter isn’t saying it is going to be one the hardest ever
put it this way: recruiter isn’t going to say “we have a really low bar; 90% of all candidates pass!” I wouldn’t read too much into her comments. Meta’s interviewing is just like every other company’s
Yup that’s what I thought too. Seems really strange recruiter fear mongering. OP prepare just like you would for any other interview
For that yoe, I’d expect at least E6
I have the same Yoe, interviewed for e6 got e5
What offer did you get? And was that in Canada or US?
Canada 192 / 550usd / 30
Did you work on computer graphics? Interviewing at both unity and meta for those roles
Good luck on your interviews. I am more focused on services at Unity, and interviewing for AR/VR at Meta
Thanks! Same to you
Yes come join. I would try your best to ace the interview, but anything less you should expect a downlevel. WLB is very team dependent and how well you can prioritize and push back. TC will be less in Canada than in US but should still easily beat your Unity TC. 21 days paid vacation. 11 holidays and 5 Meta days (16 effective company holidays).
Are you in meta Canada?
Thanks for the details. When you say downlevel, you mean to a level 5 not a level 4, yes?
