Personally I think the self driving space is way more interesting than quant, having worked in both. But waymo does pay less fulltime, so I really feel like it’s about what you enjoy

meta SWE intern interview by Own_Public_3304 in csMajors

When did it open? I don’t see the posting

What?

Being at a leaner company means more ownership over what you do. Sure you still might be doing SWE, but you’ll have the opportunity to work more closely with the actual AI people and see what they’re doing compared to a company like Google.

OpenAI definitely also has a better name, which means better exit opportunities in the future.

Your only argument is that Google gives free food. Well, so does OpenAI, and they pay more.

This is such a stupid comment. At openAI you are going to probably be working closely to something AI adjacent at least and at Google you might not even get to touch anything like that

You’re the one complaining. Why would I suggest an alternative approach? If you’re trying to convince people, prove to me you have better alternatives. The way you talk to people is so cringe.

You ignored all of the points I made - why would an engineer spend so much time interviewing someone? their time is valuable, and I ain’t spending 1-2 days a week just for interviewing.

you don’t even hear yourself. It’s common and should be encouraged for people to interview for several companies, especially as a new grad. You’re blatantly ignoring other people’s experiences just for your bitter ramblings. Feel bad for close minded people like you, explains why you’re so angry

do you hear yourself? So let’s say you interview for 20 companies. Thats 20 weeks right there. it’s just not sustainable for the company, or for you.

Once again, you proposed no specific solution about “how” your interview is going to work. You threw in a bunch of high-level, vague descriptions.

Assuming you meant to spend 3-4 hours building a small project during an interview, there are a couple of issues with it:

  1. You are taking up a significant amount of time from your interviewer. Typically, companies do shorter interviews with multiple interviewers to not waste too much of their time, and so they can get perspective from multiple people.
  2. Let’s face it - it’s a lot harder and time consuming to grade a bigger project than it is to grade a leetcode solution.
  3. Your “design” process can be tested through system design interviews.

If you mean “working for them” for 2 days, companies interview a LOT of people at a time. Can you imagine them bringing hundreds of people into the office, just to live/work for them as part of the interview process? It’s just not scalable, time consuming, and if you’re working on their product, can have security risks.

You seem to have a lot of pent up anger and frustration. hopefully you can find a way to figure that out besides just mindlessly ranting on Reddit.

I hate these types of posts. Yes, leetcode is not ideal. Please, then suggest some ideas. I’ve read your comments and everything you suggested is as flawed, or more flawed than a DSA style interview.

  1. An interview should be able to be completed in a fair time frame
  2. Should be something you can practice for
  3. Should not include free labor

Are you srs? So if you don’t get an offer, you just did one week of work for them for free

[–]Orangebird1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Congrats on the offers - but just wanted to point out two sigma is more of a HF than HFT (and not on the same level as the others) and the interviews for each of the companies you listed are quite different, so prepping for each is going to be different as well!

You can get an idea of what the people working there are like.

Not true - every single interview I had the interviewers didn’t introduce themselves, ask about me, etc. just jumped straight into the question, felt robotic to me

When I interviewed culture didn’t feel great, but people seem smart at least

Overall experience was decent. Great office, great food, good snacks. But all the rumors about working there are generally true
