A guy in Reddit used GDPR to successfully obtained feedbacks off Meta. The feedbacks are actually quite detailed and informative.

Wondering if anyone has done this also? Will it lead to blacklist though?

    Seeing how he starts to argue about almost every word of it trying to say they were wrong is exactly why candidates should not get this feedback. He did badly on a textbook problem, LRU cache is something taught in basic DS & Algo class. He should just accept that he has to study more and improve his coding skills.

      But still I think feedbacks are super valuable as a candidate. I’d love to know the differences between my own understanding of my performance and in the eyes of the interviewer, to know what I should work on.

    Somehow I feel that this feedback is written after the candidate made the request. The feedbacks run several pages in Amazon (and so I assume in Facebook as well), not half a page.

      Just get a VPN in EU, and make a request.

      Many Big Tech sites already mistakenly believe that I'm in EU and automatically select languages I don't even speak.

    The feedback obtained does not match any interview feedback I have seen, I suppose it comes from debrief notes or maybe someone just summarized it together xd

      Are the feedbacks very detailed typically?
      I interviewed at Meta at Jan btw and I'm quite curious about my result. Will doing the same result in being blacklisted though?
