Meta interview experience

Why do you want to work at FAANG? or Why do you not want to work at FAANG?

Gave 4 long rounds for Flipkart sde 2 position. Did a decent job in all rounds (according to me). Now I am getting ghosted. HRs are not picking my calls from the last 6 or 7 days. Also saw a leetcode post today, the person had the same 1st round as mine so I think he got selected. Feeling very sad because this is the 3rd company that has ghosted me after taking all the rounds. HRs don't even have the basic work ethic to say yes/no on a 30 seconds call. Worst people I'd say Posted the interview experience on leetcode anonymously, if anyone wants to check: https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/5307781/Flipkart-or-SDE-2-or-Ghosted

I had applied for a company, a dream job. I had 2 rounds of interviews and then submitted an assignment. When I sent the assignment, I had to push the recruiter to acknowledge. And one week later they sent me an email that they've hired someone. It's so depressing. Thoughts? I don't think it was a fair play, I wasn't given a fair opportunity.

Recently I have been interviewed by a company and cleared the first round. Then I had 2nd round of the interview conducted through intervue.io which is a outsourced platform. The interviewer was least bothered to know what I am doing in my current role and how I can contribute to org but only conducted interviews by posting code snippet to solve. Do you think it is right way to conduct interviews? Please share your experience

I have seen some companies post about them looking to hire a lot of people and ask people to reach out to them over DM (if their DM is even open in the first place lol), but when I do, I never hear anything back. I have 4 yoe and have applied to so many of these companies, reached out to people working there, but no one has ever replied back. Why do they even say that their DMs are open in the first place? I don't know how to even get my resume in front of an actual person working there, and my resume is not even that bad. Like how do people get interviews in these companies in the first place? I have applied so many times but never actually got contacted by any HR. Any tips will be much appreciated.

Was interviewing for a B2B SaaS which would've been a great company to join. Started speaking to them in December. Went through 5 rounds of interview, the last one with the founder. Ended up rejecting me because of my past work experience not being the best fit for what they want. This was such an incredibly frustrating experience. They checked my skill set with an assignment and product solutionising round, and yet relied on past experience to filter me out after being in conversation for months. Only thing for me to learn here is to never let your guard down, always be wary that you can be rejected at any point. Your skills, even if tested, matter only to the extent that you can combine it with telling them what they want to hear. That said, anyone looking for a product manager? :) Have ~2 years of experience as a PM (3+ overall).

Quick background: A seniorish middle management guy here Got the last 2 jobs via my network, didn't apply for it. Some lessons learnt: 1. Get into that high iq, mafia type companies, where the bar is really high 2. If you end up doing good then you'll get calls from your circles to work on something exciting 3. Lastly, work on your personal branding, write that blog down, tell how you did it, it should attract niche audience in your circle Good luck 🤞🏻

The amount of pride in this post (https://shorturl.at/nopPW) almost baffles me, how is it okay to ask someone to spend their time on a 'pre-interview' assignment? What if the candidate doesn't fit the budget, or the notice period is a bit too much etc. Imagine going through so much only to be laid off because "sorry we hired like crazy and need to do cost-cutting now"

Recruiter reached out to me and have the screening round coming up. I read that the interview process at Stripe is unique and there are rounds for fixing bugs, doing integration, etc. Can anyone shed some more light on this and how to prep?

I’m interviewing with one of the FAANG company, the interview process completed last week and recruiter have ghosted me. What are some valid reasons for ghosting? They could have just acknowledged and said will get back with more information when they have, instead of ghosting. Would you like to share some of your ghosting stories. I’m really anxious to know about the outcome that’s why this rant.
