I have been an STE at Meta for almost two years now, and I recently interviewed for a research engineering position at Meta. I have been closely working with the potential team I am interested in joining for over 6 months, and they opened a position for me so that I could switch to a full-time role. I have completed all the interviews (1 research presentation, 2 coding, 2 system design, 1 behavioral, and 1 system design follow-up). The recruiter mentioned that the feedback is a little mixed, but the team I have been working (including hiring manager) with gave "championing statements" based on my performance and the impact I created. The recruiter said she passed my packet to the candidate review committee, and she said she is hopeful. However, I am still a bit worried because recruiter told the feedback was a bit mixed. What should I be expecting? #meta #engineering #software #swe
Very weird you're giving 7 rounds for an internal transfer, especially when the new team is vouching for you
Since I am a short term employee , I had to give a full loop to switch to full time (just like other candidates applying from outside). That is what I have been told by my recruiter
I went through internal transfers at Meta before and it's the most fucked system. My org got moved under a different org but our day to day was still the exact same but our title name changed but everyone in the org had to re interview, ~300 people. It made no fucking sense at all. Lost a lot of good talented people because they couldn't pass the dumb interview loop again
Have a backup plan
It all depends on your hiring manager, and if they know their way around the system. If they get a director involved, this is an easy hire, if they just show up in CR yelling loudly, I’m afraid it will look like they are incompetent, and it will probably hurt your chances.
I see what you mean. In my case my hiring manager is the director.
Oh, cool, you should be good then, I guess. This sounds like a research (AI research, maybe) org now, and I know less about how they operate.
Best of luck!
