“Meta has the best engineers. We don’t need project management. We’re so good, and smart.” “Meta engineers are shortsighted, work on things that don’t have lasting impact, and write terrible code.” This entire conversation made me realize that Meta is as equally dysfunctional as every other company.

I would love a video like this for Apple, cuz there is virtually no Apple SWE content on youtube
@Robert-cc3wr
Being a part of startups and big tech in the past, I can say that Meta engineering/AI culture is very cutthroat to the point where folks tear down one another and throw people under the bus for their own personal benefit/gain. This was true when I was there around 2022 when the massive layoffs occurred. I’ve seen even competent/well-rounded engineers axed for the opportunity to distribute money elsewhere I.e “GenAI” engineers. It’s awful

Amazon next please!
@Chewibub
Thank you for the content, as an early career swe these videos are especially helpful hearing the thoughts and opinions of more senior devs :)
@swordman6m1
You can kinda see that Meta culture also draws a person with a varied skillset very suited for startups. Just look at how much more content is producted by people who worked at Meta vs any other large tech company.

I have a portal, and I bought one for my parents too. You did a good job with it.
@ajohnson9630
I honestly don't think the engineers at any of these companies are anything special. It's just who is willing to tolerate the interview process, work culture, and corporate culture for what amount of money. That's not always top level people even though a percentage will be. It's entirely possible that the small percentage that are generate enough more than enough value to make up for things though.
@a_blaser
So Meta has the best of the best engineers, but also has “lowest code quality”. Shouldn’t the best engineers produce the best code? Or is best engineer really a measure of fastest engineer? Interesting things to think about. Great to hear about life inside of Meta.

As earlier engineer , this content s so valuable
@Youtube_Enthusiast_
What software do you use to design your thumbnails? They are awesome!
@JagjitBrawler
Great video!! Side note: I love my portal lol. Use it to video call parents and grandparents all the time.
@A_O-o3p
Thank you for sharing
@slicer95
I was an intern in Reality Labs in Summer 22, I bought 4 portal tvs for relatives(sent it to them) and use a Portal myself. Portals would have made a killing if they were sold in WhatsApp heavy markets. But USA is too Apple centric for that to happen
@AbhishekBindal144
Can you do a video on taking breaks and handling gaps as an engineer or product designer while getting hired by FAANG companies?
@adriandelfin8047
Hey rahul, is this this series only limited to FAANGs can we see something like this for JP Morgan or other companies like that?
@krispyChkn
Do it for Google next
@Aramik-lp5fn
Mera is underwhelming at best. Imagine having that much money and brain power and just work on useless products or trying to increase screen time and …. I admit that they’ve done some cool stuff in open source and LLMs but still vastly underwhelming when you look at their resources
@DK-ox7ze
Please do for Microsoft also!
