The end of Backdoor Roth?!
1. Recruiting Team schedules a Product / Full Stack on-site, when the role is "SWE, ML", and my experience is heavily MLE. Recruiter intro calls were heavily MLE. 2. Recruiting Team admits this virtual on-site was a strong misalignment 3. Interviewers in said virtual on-site all looked half asleep, and like they didn't want to be there. 4. I was tested for Product Engineering, Full Stack when my expertise, experience, and skillset are heavily ML Systems, Applied ML / modeling, and Recommendation Systems. 5. End result: tough luck, wait the 1-year policy, even though Meta Recruiting admits it was their mistake, not mine. Kinda screwed up tbh Recruiting messed up and now I have to wait 1-year because of it.
Meta interviewers are code robots
Meta is broken. I was interviewed by clearly incompetent and angry people there. My friend got hired in meta for ml, moved to a different country to start the job, but got assigned to a sw c++ team that did not do ml at all. They acknowledged their mistake and fired him after a few months.
Wow, exactly hit the nail on the head. 2 of my interviewers were clearly angry and upset at something. This was a big interview for me--I see it as $600k+ on the line, and figured the interviewers would be respectful of that. Not the case, one of them may as well had fallen asleep, and the other didn't look happy to be there. Overall it's so disappointing to experience this from Meta. I expected much better.
Earlier meta engineers say meta was different long time ago. But now, it is normal for a manager that manages ml folks to say "I don't understand ml". Can't imagine that in OpenAI.
I'm and L6 SDM at Amazon, and I do (or did, before hiring freezes) lots of interviewing for SDM, SDE and PM positions at Amazon. I interviewed with Meta and the experience was subpar, even compared to what we do at Amazon. From having interviewers roll their eyes, to seeing other interviewers be distracted, it was not a pleasant experience. The only decent interviewers that I interacted with were (what I assume) Principal+ engineers.
I had a similar experience. 2 coding, 2 ai system design. Recruiter told me coding would be LC style. Studied LC questions for weeks. When the interview time came, they asked me to implement stuff in Pytorch. Ai system design, one of the interviewers told me the question they asked me isn't in their field but they encouraged me to ask questions. Result: have gaps in ai system design. Try again. There is no amount of prep that would make me pass that ai system design with that interviewer.
Oh man. Sorry to hear that. Can I ask what role you interviewed for , and when you interviewed?
It was for a specialist IC6 role in January. Ai system design is very vague. It really depends on the interviewer. Ask for examples and prep materials. I asked but the recruiter said he didn't have any.
Interviews are a bit of a crapshoot, sorry about that. I used to be involved in the process and it’s really hard to make sure interviewers do the right things. Honestly, you may have dodged a bullet
They are in DEI business, so of course they are racist.
Recruiting Team is basically taking no responsibility for it, and doing nothing about it. Recruiter admits it was their mistake, and agrees there was strong misalignment between the virtual on-site, the actual role, and my experience. Just great
Unfortunately, they have too many candidates right now. They can afford that.
Hack Facebook’s career website. Then they’ll listen.
