> Meta is not the only advertising company to be hit by broader economic challenges.
interesting they are referenced as advertising company..
Of all FAANGs I expect FB to be the first to sink. I see the writing on the wall..
Instagram and Whatsapp are keeping them alive.
Maybe you could opt in for political calls if they pay you..

Please use "MANAMANA" instead. (doot doo do doo doot)
Netflix never deserved to be in FAANG anyway -- seems like it was just there to make the acronym work. Therefore your suggestion sounds great! How about: Microsoft Alphabet Netflix Apple Meta Amazon Nvidia Alibaba

I just joined Meta this year and had to solve leetcode-style problems, not sure what you mean? Maybe that they aren't literally taken from leetcode or taken on leetcode.com?

Do you seriously struggle to think of possible reasons for why someone would want to work for Meta? Something like "high pay, interesting/difficult challenges and problems to work on, large scale rarely found elsewhere, and lots of learning opportunities (including loads of great engineers to learn from)" never crossed your mind?
Not saying that those were the reasons OP used to make their choice, could have been plenty others. But given there are so many obvious possible reasons, the question in the context of the original comment feels just off.
P.S. I am neither current nor a former Meta employee. It is just jarring to see reddit-tier flamebait discourse in HN threads.
Our startup spends a little bit on Facebook Ads (across FB, Instagram, etc). It's very clear over the past few months that there's trouble in the ads engine. Attribution is a mess, ad efficiency fluctuates randomly, the UI and API are flaky. I don't know whether this is a result of the ios privacy changes, the broader economy affecting ad spend, or internal issues... Maybe a mix. But it's clear that Meta's main reven…
iOS privacy has killed facebook advertisements. Meta is dealing with it currently - so are all small businesses who relied on good conversion from their ad targeting that has gone to isht since then. Apple will probably fill in that void at some point they've got a lock on all that intelligence. I'm curious how long it will take and how they will manage to do it without stepping on privacy toes.
Note that I strongly dislike adtech as a business model, but my hat is off to their cunning marketing if Apple pulls it off.
They should only keep the engineers that remember how to solve leetcode hard problems /s
Have you ever interviewed with Facebook/Meta? They don't do leetcode problems. Say what you want about them as a company, but I've done quite a few interviews in my career and their process was one of my favorites.

I had a radically different experience. The worst interview I've ever had was with FB about 9 years ago. I got an offer and it was significantly (like more than 2x) what I was being paid at the time and I turned it down because the interview experience was so awful I couldn't imagine working with the people who had conducted my interview. Even setting aside other ethical concerns, I've added FB to my permanent blackl…

Their interview process improved significantly and they had it arguably better than any other FAANG in recent years.
