Aced it Feedback : Strong hire Design 2: This is also a domain specific design round focusing on the complementary part of this domain, Interviewer seemed pretty supportive and constantly kept talking. I was able to suggest the required changes. Thought it went well Feedback: Lean hire Behavioral: Prepared a lot, and answered all questions in star format. I had some really meaty stuff in my work, which is pretty unique. And honestly you can tell I always chase growth and excellence from my profile. Interview didn't have any clutter. Feedback: out of the 6 pillars of meta, I fell short on one - continuous growth. No hire Final decision: because of two negatives, NO HIRE I mean, how broken is this stupid process ? I can code crazy good, can design compilers, and taking a couple minutes I can optimize a freshly seen graph. And how the hell did I lack continuous growth ? What curated answer should I give ? Where is the benefit of subjectiveness ? Chat, tell me if this was conclusive data to decide on No Hire...I'm done.
