Had a virtual onsite at Meta. Majority of the people were mainland Chinese immigrants. I am an immigrant myself, but I am a bit hesitant to join a group with the same ethnicity/background. Does anyone see any cliques of ethnic minorities at Meta? Is this an issue at all?
It's very common, lots of Chinese guys, but it's not a rule and not every team is like that, also not necessarily a bad thing, everyone in my team is Chinese and I love the team.
When I previously worked at FBā my whole team was also Chinese, and they were all great engineers and friendly, etc. But I hated it because it seemed they were working a 996 schedule (diffs regularly going out in nights/weekends) and to not appear as slacking to manager (eg āso-and-so is getting substantially more doneāāliterally in my 2nd 1-on-1) I also ended up working long hours and on weekends.
Same here. The peer pressure is high
Why is diversity important to you?
Could lead to favoritism of the dominant ethnicity. Not sure if that ends up being the case, hence the question
This is not true in my experience. I interviewed at almost ten tech companies, and worked at another bunch of them. Although there were many Chinese, there were also many Indian and other nationalities with enough diversity. It could be true for Doordash and for this specific Meta group, but it is not the norm.
Lol TikTok is also the same
Meta is 70% Chinese
Chinese are shy because they know we will judge them harshly for their poor English skills and shame them back to China
None of my on-site interviewers were Asian

This possibility exists everywhere. Why single out the Chinese? Trump family while in office - nepotism Ivy League - nepotism, legacy admits Finance, government and media - white and Jew NBA - black Baseball - Hispanic
