Hare Krishna, it will. 🙏
hopefully 🙏
please today...
did u hear something new abt it
Kinda one of my friends rec said they will circle back in 4 weeks or sum
A week back so 3 weeks now
Day's not over yet inhale more hopium 🙏
But 3 weeks from now would be the beginning of the holidays. Do you guys think they will respond before the holidays?
Also, at which stage are you guys at?
likely after holidays
most ppl did their interviews and are waiting on decision i believe
I have known people getting rejected after their interviews within 3-4 business days. So, waiting for results sounds like a good news to me. Ofc, only if they open again.
Heard they’re still going ahead with the interviews though.
Yeah I heard something similar where you can still get rejected but if you're in limbo you probably got weak/strong hire
basically just a waitlist
My interviewer mentioned that I did pretty well and then got hit with the pausing email 4 days later🤦🏻♂️
Zon was famous for doing this. Did that last year and some of my friends got their offer after 1-2 months, especially after the holidays
But a few didn’t. Especially those who had interviews deep in Spring.
Yeah people aren’t getting rejected for Team Matching, since that goes until they’ve exhausted every HC ig
I had one OA, one work assessment and one interview. I am in SWE PhD Systems and Infrastructure.
^same but the regular undergrad swe
has anyone doing pe been rejected after final since the pause
I know a few who got rejected after DS, SWE and PE interviews.
Did you guys email your recruiters? What did they say?
dang maybe receiving the pause email rather than straight up rejection is not a bad sign... I hope
Meta stocks are rebounding. Hopefully their Q4 earnings turn out well and they start opening HC soon
Daily prayers 🕉️11:11🕉️
hopefully today 🙏
yea
just got an email saying I’ll get an update in 2 weeks
wait did you email and they responded
or did they just send an email
didn’t email and ds
meta offers in 2 weeks 🙏

Joy Maa Manasa 🌺🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏
May God bless us all.
Generic one. Why aren’t they all synced? This is weird.
Yeah, I got the same email from my recruiter 3 days after my interview.
Could be. What stage are you at? Did you finish your final and waiting for the result? Or, did you pass the final and waiting for TM?
@south trout mentioned earlier that one of their friends heard from their recruiter about hearing back in a similar timeframe as you. They didn’t mention what role their friend was interviewing for?.
no offer deadlines this my only one
What stage are you at? Final or TM?
That friend is @rose sorrel lol
This is what one of the DS interns got after their first round and pause.
Why are only DS interns getting this? I would assume everyone should be getting it. 😭
My recruiter sent me the pausing email only after I emailed her. So, some recs are unresponsive man. I know others going through the same.
Or, may be this is position specific
is he a friend of urs, how did his first round go
No. Someone on reddit that I talked to. I think her first round went well.
when did she do her first rd
Meta recruiter said he’s gonna keep me updated after rejecting me last week 😭😭 wtf
what did he say exactly?
Unrejected 🔥🔥🔥
My recruiter is in office
I have mailed her. I will let you guys know if she responds. She is bad at responding though.
What did your recruiter say?
Literally just he’s gonna keep me updated as he hears more on his end 💀
Is this for SWE interns or DS? Or, something else?
New week new chance of offers 🙏
anyone rec cg for swe
Did he say that they have more head-counts now or is it just a vanilla keeping-the-pipeline-warm email?
Did you get the email too?
So this is the pausing email that everyone has been getting for 3 weeks now
Not a headcount update or anything
is this a good sign? can anyone interpret whats happening lmao
I don’t think there’s an update for this week lol
Man the holidays are gonna suck with anxiety
Hope they have something better the break
is everyone here after their final round?
i interviewed for PE, didn't get the same pause email as everyone else did and instead got an invite to schedule my final round as planned. final round went by on monday last week so im not sure if i'm affected by the next steps freeze
my interview was actually canceled at first before they rescheduled which i think is a good sign like they haven't reached hc?
I got the pause email 1 bis day after my pe final
yea its over for me
genuinely idk whats up with my process
my recruiter got switched the day the pause emails got sent out
if it wasnt for other people i would have no idea they paused rn
I saw someone in this server who got the pause email only a week after their pe final
I think ur fine and I dont know anyone who got rejected after pe final since the pause
maybe your recruiter is ooo
I think most people got the pausing email after their final round.
How did they cancel your interview and then reschedule it again? Interesting
K to L
I just did my interview yesterday for the swe intern role in another country 😭
I don’t know if I’m also cooked
😭🤦🏻♂️ not even any interview feedback
hey @worldly gust could u dm me the contact of the ds person ur talking to on reddit
Done.
When did you have your final?
That’s true.
Well at-least you still have hope and are under active consideration
My recruiter never says anything good. Her responses are dry af
Yep. We aren’t cooked yet. Probably getting seasoned. Or not, hopefully.
Yeah I have a feeling that’d be the case too. Usually that’s when they get new HC
It could be in Feb after their Q4 gets published
I can feel an offer coming my way tomorrow 🙏
I can feel an offer coming my way ~~tomorrow ~~December 4th 🙏
Not happening before the break
my recruiter said apporximately 2 weeks last week so maybe next week we'll hear something?
May be for DS. We will have to wait and see.
But usually companies decide on budgets and HCs after the break
Meta announced 30% funds being cut to Metaverse and 10% across all boards 🤦🏻♂️
Made their stock go up 😭
those funds are going to be used to hire interns 🔥
Or, pumped into their AI Capex which is announced to be $70B for 2026
Quick question does everyone get an onsite survey?
I did and know others who have as well.
It doesn’t mean much.
Damn I didn't even get one 😔
Fair enough, thanks!
When did you do your interview?
the 12th
It’s probably random
I did my interview like 3 days ago
Not it asking me to rate my recruiter 💀
That’s what I meant yeah
Don’t wanna rate my recruiter badly, we’ve only communicated like twice
And that was the next steps email
Saw this on Reddit. This is for SWE. Are they rejecting people now even after them passing the interviews?
This happened to me
What the hell. Didn’t your recruiter out to you stating that they are going to keep you updated?
Did they say anything after that?
No I think he sent that to me on accident lol
I got rejected by email before that anyway
Did you talk to your recruiter about it? Sometimes your applications get moved around. It happens in Amazon.
Wait, you got that email as well?
"As part of the company’s annual budget planning for 2026, Mark Zuckerberg asked Meta executives to look for 10% cuts across the board, which has been the standard request during similar recent annual budget cycles. The metaverse group was asked to cut deeper, or up to 30%, because Meta has not seen the level of industry-wide competition of the tech that it once expected."
prob interns getting cut as a result
So we’re cooked
Then why keep us in a limbo?
So does that mean you passed the interview?
Since the stock bounced bank over the past week I’m really praying they increase hc 😭🙏
I heard they already started rejecting some people
Damn you can do both?
Hm could it just be failed interviews? Like if they reject you cos you failed an interview there’s no point waiting for the headcount to increase
Ah fair enough
I think maybe the stock needs to go back up. They paused hiring when it went really low
That was the lowest it was in months
Just happened in November
Now it’s kinda recovering
I hope interns weren’t part of the cuts
I don’t think they give feedback unfortunately
How many recruiters do you have😭 I only have one
Oh fair
I’m not in the US
The UK
London office
TN
Yeah I had my interview on Monday
That’s the thing I’m not sure
I know they seemed to stop giving interviews and OAs out after October
Nope
I had my interview scheduled like 2 days before the announcement thing in the Us
And did it this week
So I’m just kinda waiting and hoping
Cos someone told me that their friend got a NG SWE offer this week
So I’m hoping the pause doesn’t affect me but there’s a rumor it will
Cos I’m like the only one in the pipeline so late
Could be but I haven’t heard back since my interview
Possibly
Idk I’ll email my recruiter on Monday and ask for an update
Hopefully I don’t get swiftly rejected
I got DE consideration and bih didn’t even send me the OA and then the fuckng pause hapaned should I email another rec cause my current one is just ghosting me
we are cheap and "effective" labour
and free training for potential conversion
but we always get cut anyways
Is there any chances Meta open process again next week 😭
I’ve already finished my final and wait for decision
Frfr I have a feeling too
prob January if anything
Why is it January, Did recruiter say that to you ?
usually when headcount opens back up for companies
just curious, why meta runs out of hc so fast, like my friends got his offer at Feb last year
they also slowed down hiring last year around this time
but they never announced a formal pause
US?
I heard they started sending the pause emails like a month ago
When did you have itv with meta, i thought they sent like a month ago
Pray for new week guys
Not to me but someone else said they got it
I’m praying bro I’m praying 😭🙏
What if we all bought meta stocks
It would make the price go up 😭
Someone got an email today that they’re waiting until giving out more interviews
Praying this is a sign that they’re gonna start rehiring soon😭🙏
??? I dont understand
Someone got sent an email today and the email said they’re waiting until they give out more interviews
I reckon the person did the OA before the freeze
isnt that the generic email that there is a pause so theyll update if they keep interviewing?
or is this different
hopefully its a good sign
Same question
Not sure tbh possibly
The usual email is that they’re not gonna be scheduling interviews anymore
Idk
I can ask
I’m praying them contacting someone this late is hope
I got a "checking in" email today from my recruiter saying they're still waiting for hiring updates thanks for waiting etc, this is for PE
Manifesting a positive update for everyone soon 🙏
We will not go to Christmas without that damn offer
Have you finished your final yet?
Yeah, maybe they’ll open it next week, if it were this week, they wouldn’t have sent an email like that.
It is unlikely that they will have anything moving before the holidays. Most employees are gonna be going on breaks next week up until New Year, probably
I’m holding on to hope that they’ll restart at some point
Hi
People are saying meta is taking people off the waitlist?
Praying for everyone here lowkey 🙏
What? Where? When? Didn’t hear anything like that yet.
Someone said so
Yeah how do you know?
And another person before that said they got an offer?
In summer intern process someone just said so
Hoping it’s true
Trying to dm to confirm
I’m praying it is😭
are you swe intern too
ohhh that’s fire
I emailed my recruiter yesterday and she said this
Thanks for reaching out, we do not have any updates regarding the internship program. You are correct, we have no set timeline, but I will reach out if there are any additional information!
I think we will have update in this week
Ok so someone said he got the offer yesterday in the US
Perhaps there’s hope
I have a scheduled email for my recruiter tomorrow
Same, my recruiter said they were hoping for an update by mid dec but its unclear if theyll have an update by then
I think the one who said he got an offer is trolling lmao
I think what he meant was he got an offer from some other company and was waiting for Meta update
That’s true
Lemme ask my contacts if they got anything
May be by the end of this week or early next we will get an update
Where did you see this one
they are probably trolling
idek know anymore
what I do know is meta offer coming my way tmr 🙏
Whay do you mean potential resume
whos your recruiter?
oh damn
meta offer unironically tmr
@atomic bolt did your recruiter give any more details besides resume?
oh 😭 nvm offers in jan 🙏
Hopefully 🙏
The late January thing does checkout with Q4 earnings drop
We just gotta keep hoping and praying ong
why is one recruiter saying its unclear and another saying big wave jan-feb lmao
They’re not in sync😭
That’s crazy💀
brian could be capping
ngl he is
I’ve never heard of meta calling some1
That’s what I’ve heard of them doing tho
The verbal offer
for intern??
Then the actual one
Yeah
I think someone is trolling for that one.
Guys, Brian is trolling
He said he had final on 2nd Nov
But that day is Sunday
Ohhh my bad my bad
Pray for meta offer tmr guys
didnt the freeze start the week after nov 2nd week?
it was like nov 10 iirc
but he said he got the freeze before his final
Maybe his 2nd week is from 10th to 14th Nov
Ghosted by my recruiter after emailing this morning
Heard back yet?
Nope😭
Person from Reddit got rejected for a Data Engineer position
They interviewed 11/3/2025
They just got rejected today
Yeah, so not getting rejected by 2 weeks doesn’t probably mean we passed the final round ig
Do you reckon they’re kinda slowly rolling out rejections
Did the person get the rejection via email or was it only on their portal
Why does Meta treat us like that?
Cos some people said they checked their portal and saw they were rejected a few weeks ago
They hate us😭
I’d prefer if they rejected and waitlisted those who passed
That way we atleast know 😭🙏
Destroy our christmas
Idk. Just asked them. Let’s see what they say
Kk thanks
That man just finished his first round and waited for his 2nd round
True 🥲
Just curious, Does anybody still wait to have final round (swe intern)
After finished the OA
did they say how good they did
Nah haven’t asked yet. Will ask and let you guys know
Do yall guy think should i email to recruiter for asking process
Like I havenot emailed for them since my final round
So I’m afraid they think I’m no longer interested in their position and will send me a rejection
If you don’t email them, the risk increases.
I think it’s better to email them and keep the pipeline warm
Okay okay tysm
was it their screening interview or final?
They aren’t responding on Reddit anymore. Probably lost skin in the game.
Someone got rejected yesterday in the server the person seemed to be on pause as well
Yeah saw that
Day 2 of being ghosted by my recruiter lmao😭
May be they are out of office. Or, left for vacation.
My recruiter did read my email, but they still haven’t replied.
How do you know that? We get read receipts for emails these days?
Lol, i have email tracker extension
Idk. May be they’re receiving a lot of such emails and aren’t responding due to no updates.
What does your Meta portals say?
Well at least not rejected then
Yeah
It's always vacation
Wdym?
Any update today, guys
my meta recruiters this year and last year always go on vacation at the worst time
*all my recruiters for all my procs
😂😂😂
It's actually so cursed man I'll have a recruiter ghost me, and I'll just assume they're on vacation
and then they come back a week later saying sorry on vacation
😭
I have a feeling we getting offers tomorrow 🙏
Success is 75% luck and 25% handwork. The people who got things easy never admit to it.
I got one variant question and one leetcode hard for the Meta interview and still got paused. Most that I know got easies and mediums or medium variant at worst. For the same fucking position.
It is real my friend. I believe you. Some people have pretty hard luck.
What is the different between recruiter and coordinator
Like i have two recruiter and 1 coordinator
realistically i dont think anyone will hear back until the new year
every recruiter is saying the same thing (that they are paused and dont know when they wont be)
coordinator schedules interviews and deals with other logistical stuff
Still haven’t gotten my DE OA man I’m so cooked after consideration email, my rec so buns hasn’t read any of my 10 emails but ik she not dead cause she posts on LinkedIn 😖
thought they stopped giving out OA since November 10th
no last year was normal
Last year, got rejected in 4 days. But that was on November 15. I know people who got offers in March too.
Idk if it slowed towards the winter break or not.
I did my interview the day after you last year
Heard back in like december on my results
Someone got offer at first week December
did u see this on discord?
Yes
yea we were talking abt that yesterday, i think 2 people claimed to have gotten offers
not sure if its true
You got rejected after a month? That’s crazy!
I’m starting to see more people say they got rejected on Reddit and discord 😭
Like 3 people said they got rejected like yesterday
Yeah😭
One of those from Reddit is the same person that I talked about yesterday. So person aint a new rejection.
Actually, that’s the only person who got rejected on the post. He was the one who was talking to me.
He missed an edge case
Oh another person mentioned they got rejected for ux I must have not seen the date difference
So they’re still rejecting 💀
I had already talked to that ux person before. They got rejected in like 2 days
It was 3 weeks back
Damn
Fair enough
Did you manage to contact the person in the server that said they got rejected 2 days ago/yesterday
They didn’t respond. It was the same Reddit person that you mentioned about in this comment
Oh damn fair
They said they were pausing on decisions tho
That’s really weird
It’s all up in the air at this point
People who didn’t clear the bar got rejected
Usually pretty quickly
I’d honestly prefer if they gave us decisions and waitlisted
In an ideal world, that would be the case.
They must not like us
We are just potential interns. Not a lot of stakes.
I’ll be praying my recruiter responds at some point cos they’re straight up ghosting me. The last time I wrote a message and they responded was in October 💀
Did you do your OA or final?
I did both
How did you do?
The last time I and my recruiter had a conversation was in October when I asked to extend my OA deadline till early November
I scheduled my interview from early November to December
And did it
For the OA- I got 3/4 questions right. The 4th one was pretty much correct but I couldn’t see without my glasses so I made a spelling error and cause everything to fail
But for the interview I think it went pretty well
The first question was quick and I explained everything. I got a hint while doing a walk through and added one edge case
For the second one I immediately knew how to solve it and remembered to add edge cases
My interviewer seemed to never have seen my solution before
I was kinda forcing a stack problem to be solved in O(1) space
So they seemed really intrigued and kept asking questions
Kinda was a deep dive into every bit of my code and the reason for it and effect
Not sure if I’m cooked🙏
What about you? How did you do on yours?
Why October
My friends had itv at 6th Nov
And got offer at 8th Nov
That’s when my recruiter send the OA but I had other interviews and exams at the time so I asked for an extension
And also there were technical issues with my account
It was merging with another account
With my name
So different info was showing up
And I was receiving emails incompletely
Same OA performance as you. For the interview, First one was an easy variant. Got the code and explanation done. Dry ran and was to test with edge cases. Did it well.
The second q was a hard. Explained everything and coded just in time with the complexities. But the interviewer said I don’t need to do a dry run since the code was pretty lengthy. But said I did pretty well in the end.
He was a bit weird tho. Had me share my screen. No introduction. Just pasted an example and explained code in words.
Bro gave you an hard 😭
wtf
I would have closed the zoom right there and then
Yeah I was stoked too.
Really😭
It was crazy
Damn😭
The sharing screen is normal I think
The lack of intro is weird he was prolly just busy
Did you guys talk at the end
That’s unfortunate
i spoke a someone who got their offer tdy
they interviewed nov 24th
and also received hiring pause
but got their offer tdy
so maybe they’re trickling some offers in idk
Hopefully
Was it for swe or something else?
yeah i think for swe intern
i’m not sure what the bar is like
he said he couldn’t solve his second one in time
but he prolly still communicated his thought process well enough to give the interviewer a good signal
Did he get the offer ?
I doubt any offers were given
If they were, that means the pause ended and the recruiters would've likely communicated something along those lines
its possible some ppl reneged and they had to fill some spots
if they really unpaused a lot more ppl would’ve heard back
My recruiter has ghosted me for three days
Anyone got update today?
Not sure but meta stock is down
yes he did, he got it yesterday
yeah prolly
I think we will only hear back by end of Jan or early Feb after the Q4 earnings are announced and they have decided on budgets and new HCs.
I'm feeling meta offers on monday 🙏
Anyone waiting for Production Engineering intern after their finals over here?
Someone got rejected recently
Like 3 days ago
After finals
It sounded kinda like hc
For the pe intern role
What does your meta careers portal say?
Olay so you guys are just one step away from the offer. No team matching needed before the offer.
I am a PhD student so we have to match with teams first
Our full loop interview is the team matching
Our technical screen is the final round

sudo posted something about a meta at ucla event the other day and they got an interview but not sure if that was in the past or recent
Monday is too close to the holidays
We won’t hear back anything positive, if any, before mid January
I thought recruiters are still active during holidays
As far as I know, everyone is in holiday mode for most part of December and early January
anyone hear anything?
Did you get this email today?
Offers on christmas 🙏
Yes
Wrap it up
An hour back
I don’t think anyone will hear anything positive at least before mid January
Just hope and pray that Meta has some great Q4 earnings and they have a lot of HC by late Jan
Insane waiting time
Bro I know people who waited for 5-6 months for an offer after a freeze in 2024-2025
Including new grads
They were on a freeze as well
So this wait time isn’t too bad ig
We have to hear back before May or June 2026
So Feb or even March aint too bad
Cause they will get their q4 earnings by end of Jan and would probably take a couple of weeks to get new HC
These are FT positions btw
Guys dont worry
My friend who is currently swe at Meta
He said that Meta is reviewing the total headcount across all teams.
Not run out of hc yet
He said his team just submitted their headcount numbers, so he has no idea about the other teams.
Lawd pleaseeeee😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How does your friend know this? I have SWE friends at Meta as well. Even a PhD swe. They don’t know anything is what they said. The only friend whose team is still taking interns is a research scientist.
I am not doubting you. I am just asking.
I hope your friend is correct and mine is wrong. But I thought SWEs usually have no idea regarding HCs, no?
maybe his friend is a manager?
🤫🤫🤫
…?
Whether we doubt it or not, at least we have hope for good news
Yeah sure. But I just wanted to make sure our hopes aren’t leading us to a heartbreak
As engineers, we are expected to cross verify lol
He mentioned that his friend is a swe in the msg above
Any update today?
Can you share the email? Without the details which can dox you, obviously.
When did you have final?
Congratsssss🎉🎉🎉
Nov 24
I think I have never gotten a dopamine hit of hope as big as this one ever before. Thanks.
We are ALL making it out
I am happy for you man. I hope we all can feel what you’re currently feeling sometime in the future.
Do you mind sharing how your interview went? Sounds like you were a strong hire looking at the time to offer.
at the time that I started the process, I only let them know that I was in the process for some companies
didnt give speicifc offer deadlines or anything tho
yes!
did you get an email abt the offer or did ur portal just update
both
do u guys think they are unfreezing or just someone from PE dropped out so they replaced with the next strongest
I think it depends on ur recruiter
my interview was
funny
nobody really knows but def not an official unfreeze
i showed up 5 minutes late but i had one of the best interviews of my life vomiting out info and going deep into the questions
at one point i went into instruction level and then zoomed out, most of my answers stopped at os/kernel level
after searching this disc they sent out more screenings
i think theyre doing something with pe in particular?
I think it has got smth to do with systems and infrastructure. They’re investing heavily into ML infrastructure
Do you reckon they’ve set the budget up now hence them rehiring ?
Probably in some orgs. I guess it will be more and more as time goes
Makes sense
Wth
got this too
Your manifestation worked
For PE ?
Most likely mate
Congratssss
Answer them🙏
Let us know
I think it’s an offer
They have no reason to ask that otherwise
r u also pe
yeah
Last year they asked immigration questions only to those who got offers before the actual offer
are u from canada?
Were you SWE or PE?
if u are then it’s offer
bunch of pe people got offer

Were you swe or pe?
You also got email ?
no
they definitely wouldn’t of asked for citizenship status if they were gonna reject
Citizenship status is very reassuring.
Is it just PE so far?
swe offers tmr 🙏
Did you get the offer yet?
for new grad or internships?
any others that opened for intern?
Manifest for swe intern
could u link where u found it i cant find the opening
It looks like they unpaused Pe in the Uk as well
Did you hear anything about swe
Nope 😭
Is this for 2026 swe internship? You already got the offer?
Did you get it?
anyone get anything for swe?
got a feeling that swe offers are dropping by end of today 🙏
Meta was doing PE intern reach outs again as per some server posts before they handed out the PE intern offers
So may be that would be a positive thing
Any update for swe guys?
best way to know if any of the other roles will reopen is probably checking the careers site to see if they have reopened
if not then prob not yet
It just Network PE and PE intern positions for now
Hopefully they start rolling more out 😭🙏
r u pe too?
Nope I’m swe
was pe the first one to get affected by the freeze?
I assume everyone got affected at the same time on the same day
Anyone hear back ?
I’m gonna pull a @weak gulch and start manifesting cos if it worked for her it has to work for us 😭🙏
We’re getting offers this week🙏 Trust
any tips for the final
All SWE pipelines move forward tomorrow 🙏11:11🙏
Should i email for recruiter tmr ?
PE?
Anyone at UK hear back yet?
they still work next week
they only get 24, 25, 1st off
SWE offer tomorrow! 🙏11:11🙏
I got rejected 😔
I'm following up on my previous email regarding the status of your 2026 intern application.
We've wrapped up hiring for this role and are no longer moving forward with the recruiting process. We really appreciate you sharing your background and experience with us, and hope to keep in touch about future opportunities.
Feel free to explore our current internship openings on the Meta Careers site and apply to anything else of interest for which you may be eligible.
Thank you again for your interest in Meta!
same
im 2 for 2 bro ts is tragic
wtf 😭
Sorry😭
Do we call it wraps😭 that looks like a hc rejection
yeah it’s over man
Fuck😭
Shit.
prob yeah, especially if they're rejecting ppl on the hc waitlist 😭
Icl from the looks of that email all swe hiding seems closed
yeah seems like it
is this for all interns?
I'm swe so swe might be wraps
prob
I had a perfect final too
so I think it’s for everyone
ye
prob similar to the initial hc email they sent
not everyone got it same day
Did they add that to the email this time tho?
na
there’s a chance hc still opens again?
So it’s not even valid for next year?
I’m ds but it’s prob cooked too
swe is full
You’re ds you’re less likely cooked
actually a crazy edge that they aren't sending out mass swe reject 😭
Did they even mention that your results are valid for a year?
Could you ask
nope but I followed up asking about it
Actually straight up evil
I'm guessing only for swe intern again?
Yeah prob
good thing it’s my last internship😭
bro I think that mf was trolling
he got us good man
I can't wait to do new grad recruiting next year now 😍
thats crazy
Gonna go 3 for 3 at meta 🔥
Same
This email came at the worst fucking time too I have an exam in a few hours
Killed all my motivation to study
And from the pe offered are just gone
are u in proc for both?
was swe the first one to open up?
When did you have itv with meta
yea theres like so much confusing shit abt this
namely no mass email + this is somehow before q4
maybe some people got rejection rn and others will get offer later
rip imma assume ds will stop too then
Are you at UK or US?
yes
oh yeah then staggered 😭 shits cooked
US
Can i know your initial recruiter
You got rejected as well?
Fucking hell
Did you get it today as well?
Anyone who hasnt gotten the email from cg here
Everyone is fucked then.
30 min ago
Did they say it was valid for a year?
yeah from a previous email
Welp it’s cooked
does this mean you don’t have to interview next year if u wanted to do another internship
Idts cuz that would be next years recruiting process? not sure
frfr we totally dodged a bullet (totally not cope)
Cant believe they wrapped up hiring so early
Me + cliff 😭
If you passed this interview yeah
last yr my friend got a swe offer in March 😭
They’ve stated this before but not sure if it’s applicable to us
Why they dont put us in waitlist
this was the waitlist basically
to those that got rejected today, what role was it for?
damn it's ggs
arent there gonna b ppl reneging between now and summer
They might not even fill those roles back up
maybe we js got rej and theres still swes on the wl
If they closed hc this early
Was it? Cos they didn’t mention if the score carried over till next year
why tf they get my ass then 😭
fuck my chud life
Defo less than half of last year
I might ask about it
but even then I can only apply for new grad
so might not even apply to me
damn im from the uk and waiting on swe intern, expecting a rejection soon most likely 💔
Same bro
interesting to see that they've reopened production engineer and network production engineer for interns
im assuming hc hasn't been reached for those
It’s probably just a matter of time now given they ran out of HC
Every email that I am getting is triggering mini heart attack 😭
lol yh same
i haven’t
took final nov 17
it's funny I had my interview scheduled before the hiring freeze start date but I had to reschedule and it just so happened that I rescheduled for the 10th of Nov 💀
exact same shit happened to me
except the 12th
fr
the freeze is done right?
emails likely recruiter dependent so rolling out over next few days
doing it right before christmas is fucked
watch some recruiters be on vacation rn so you won't even hear back until jan
oh god bro that would genuinely be horrible
wasted my best interview performance for this
Yeah my friend who works at Meta said that it’s a holiday today
Nobody is working today
Idk what that means
wait were rejections automated then
how did they send out emails then 😭 just for the love of the game or what
recruiters could be on different schedule than engineers
Idk man. That’s what he said. But he said 22 and 23 office is open. But nobody might be working
So getting responses might be difficult
so the brian dude was js trolling😭
Ts is actually so painful
Did they actually confirm now if your interview results roll over to next year?
mine did, but idt it would matter anyway
or they said it was valid for a year
so next intern cycle is next yr anywya
Wait can I even apply in less than a year then? Normally if you get rejected you have a 1 year cooldown too
But since this was HC rejection does it apply?
Did they atleast say you passed
idts they jisy said my interview was valud for a year
What a messed up process
what does ur portal look like?
portal still is the same
portal unchanged for me too
that means rejection was just a dream and offer is coming my way later today 🙏
Did anyone else get rejected after that?
Anyone from the UK been rejected yet?
Not yet but it’s already past office hours here
Got this for SWE Intern just now:
I'm a lead on our Early in Career recruiting team. I'm following up on behalf of our team in regards to the previous email with the status of your 2026 intern application
We've wrapped up hiring for this role and are no longer moving forward with the recruiting process. We really appreciate you sharing your background and experience with us, and hope to keep in touch about future opportunities.
this weekend is gonna be fun
Is this US? When did you interview?
US I didn’t interview was waiting after OA
did your recruiter send this
When did you take your OA?
Yes
Day b4 freeze
Lmao if they’ve not gone on Christmas break yet
people r saying they got meta offers too though
For SWE interns?
they prob stack ranked for swe and then filled up hiring with some people they chose, rest got hced maybe
who?
what role?
Swe
I think so
They also released a Hardware Systems intern role today at their website
Seems like they’re hiring more hardware, systems, production, networking guys.
It could be because of their planned spending in new AI infra next year
I mean this one
ohh gotchu
Did they say anything contrary? I am just speculating with the present evidence. I hope I am wrong.
Nothing but my behavioral question and my recruiter’s pro5 is from ML/AI org
So i think it is not reason we got reject
Well, you haven’t been rejected yet. So may be your org still has HC. They have planned spendings for AI and AI infra for next year
So that would make sense
No i already got reject
I'm a lead on our Early in Career recruiting team. I'm following up on behalf of our team in regards to the previous email with the status of your 2026 intern application
We've wrapped up hiring for this role and are no longer moving forward with the recruiting process. We really appreciate you sharing your background and experience with us, and hope to keep in touch about future opportunities.
Feel free to explore our current internship openings on the Meta Careers site and apply to anything else of interest for which you may be eligible. Thank you again for your interest in Meta!
Best,
The same
Okay. May be it’s stack ranking or random then. Or, they’re only interested in people with systems background mostly.
Not sure.
Could be random too. Fuck it atp
Bloody hell. Then it’s up in the air.
This was the PE rejection email last week:
Thanks for your interest in Meta and the Production Engineer Intern role. Unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with you in the process at this time for the Production Engineer Intern role. We have met many talented candidates this year and we have had to make some tough choices.
I know this is probably not the news you wanted to hear, and unfortunately, I am not at liberty to give specific feedback due to company policy.
Many people ask what the official rules are for reapplying – it’s typically a solid year for the same role. However, you’re eligible immediately to apply for any other roles at Meta. Check out our Meta Careers Page and let me know if you see another role that you’re interested in! I’d be happy to pass along your resume to the appropriate recruiter.
We truly appreciate your time and interest in Meta.
Please stay in touch and I wish you the best of luck moving forward as you continue in your career!
Looks different from the SWE ones. So may be SWE indeed is at hc? Idk.
But then again, someone got an offer too. So who knows atp!
That’s the standard rejection email not headcount related
I got exact email last year
Swe might be only one at hc and rejecting atm
That’s what I meant. The PE one seemed generic. SWE sounds like is at HC. But one guy got an offer today. So who knows!
We will probably learn more over the next few weeks.
i feel like bros trolling tho
ong
Could also just be him
disappeared as soon as ppl asked for more info
if they did have like a few roles left and just filled them up
Light work I'm getting new grad next year
I'm in the system still
Third time's the charm they say 😭
So, everyone in the US waiting for SWE intern offers from this server is rejected already?
Or, is anybody still left?
Not yet
just got reject
for swe?
yep
Sounds like most people are getting rejected then
Probably will get to know by today or next week
Shit
yep
When did you get the email?
Was it the same HC shit?
just now
i assume ppl get the email whenever their recruiter decides to send it out
I thought recruiters weren’t working today
apparently not
Did you email your recruiter for an update?
yep will lyk the response
Wdym?
i emailed them, ill let you know what they respond with
I lowkey wanna email my recruiter for an update but scared as hell
Oh. I was asking if you emailed your recruiter for an update and then they sent you the rejection email
Sounds like they sent you the rejection email first
yea
So is the interview even valid for next year
Cos the emails are hc it’s not clear at all
I think it's valid for other intern roles out rn if they even are valid
I don't think next year intern cycle they will reuse the results from this year
This is so crazy
This part especially is insane wtf
I'm just guessing but it wouldn't make sense to keep the scores valid for next year
It would tho cos they usually do that
wtf
Yeah but most other roles like PE or DE or DS have very different interviews and processes from swe. How do they tally it?
They literally didn’t give any return offers to interns in 2022. So these companies can do anything. We just numbers
Fuck
wtf they do that?
That's so weird
Ig it might stay valid then if that email was true
Probably won't transfer over for new grad so I'm cooked regardless
They used to say so yeah that your results are valid for a year so if you don’t get an offer this year you can take it next year
Watch them do the same shit this year
Cutting interns is alr a bad sign
this is why I'm going back to amazon, they would never do that to us
I don’t think so. May be that’s why they are reducing and assessing the HCs. So that they dont have to a 2022 again, cause that’s bad rep
Bad rep yeah but it doesn't really matter, people will apply regardless
Tesla did something similar where they rescinded all swe intern offers
but everyone still applies to them
Too much demand not enough supply
They have all the power
Literally bad rep for workers makes their share price go up
yeah every layoff gives them like 5% 😭
That’s true though.
Anything for the shareholders
Fr
Fuck this shit
They can’t even say whether or not we can apply next year wtf
We can
Yeah but what about our interview
I skill issued last year and was able to reapply for this cycle
They’re not telling us if we passed or not
We can assume we passed, cause otherwise you would've just been rejected even with pause
Results invalid go through this shit based luck process again
results carrying over just email and ask them
That would be a big assumption cos everyone got the same email
I thought a bunch of people got rejected during the pause
not related to the HC
I may be wrong tbh
We didn’t see that for swe interns
I saw rejects for pe and others
Not swe tho
Bruh you already have Amazon
This shit was supposed to be fair. Like if you pass you’ve got it and if you fail you don’t
wtf
Fuck my life
Maybe stack rank at the very end?
I'm sure a lot of ppl had similar performance
Yea
Nothing I could've done different so we move on 🤷♂️
So how do they even stack rank similar performances?
no clue they could honestly pick blindly and it'll work
Holy lottery
A troll?
Accounts that haven’t said anything at all before tho?
Most people wouldn’t say anything at all
I think swe offers are sparse and rejections more common unlike pe

Good luck to everyone else. I hope you guys make it.
I asked ab results for diff roles
Great questions! While your interview feedback cannot be transferred to a different role, your applications remain open.
did they say anything about transferring interview feedback for next year for the same role?
That I didn’t ask cause I’ll have to do ng next year
is swe the only one that closed for now
do we just kill ourselves
It’s over
The PE roles are open still
The big wave that Brian’s rec mentioned for Jan/Feb was a cap probably
What is this supposed to mean? Can the feedback be reused for the swe intern role next year?
I didn’t ask
could you please ask?
