A Meta recruiter named Tyler Knell approached me on LinkedIn. He introduced himself as a recruiter for an ML Engineer role. I then had a 30-minute screening interview with him. During our conversation, he outlined their next steps for further screening: Part 1: Online Coding Assessment + “Preferences at Work” assessment Part 2: Technical Screen Interview I’ve been through a LeetCode-style assessment before—about a couple of years ago—but I’m not interested in doing that again. In today’s fast-changing landscape, we code differently than we did even a few years back. Meta is a giant company, and they have the power to keep the process the way they want—especially since plenty of capable candidates line up for those jobs. But I’m not going to keep singing the old song. Goodbye to them until they tune up to new music.
