I applied through other source. I interviewed at Meta in May 2025
Interview
The interview process is biased, at least for software engineering jobs.
I am someone who is neurodivergent who is trying to focus on and improve my soft skills.
I like to create software, but it is not the center of my world,
Meta's interviews are geared towards people who are rocket scientists, electrical engineers or people who have "gifted", "talented" or "genius" level IQ.
Their "coding exercises" focuses only on a very small and specific part of software development. Successful software is more than just about "algorithms and data structures".

Went well. Few leet code questions followed by some system design question. Was an extremely interesting experience and a reasonably smart interviewer. Clear and concise problem descriptions and well thought out responses to my questions.
