#

It’s not happening guys :/

#

I think by Jan

wraith pine
#

did u hear something new abt it

south trout
#

Kinda one of my friends rec said they will circle back in 4 weeks or sum

south trout
#

A week back so 3 weeks now

fast dew
#

Day's not over yet inhale more hopium 🙏

worldly gust
#

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?

fast dew
#

most ppl did their interviews and are waiting on decision i believe

worldly gust
#

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.

fast dew
#

basically just a waitlist

worldly gust
#

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

fast dew
#

is there not only 1 round for meta?

#

Are you in for swe or pe or de?

worldly gust
#

I had one OA, one work assessment and one interview. I am in SWE PhD Systems and Infrastructure.

fast dew
#

^same but the regular undergrad swe

grim nest
#

has anyone doing pe been rejected after final since the pause

worldly gust
#

I know a few who got rejected after DS, SWE and PE interviews.

worldly gust
#

Did you guys email your recruiters? What did they say?

grim nest
worldly gust
#

Meta stocks are rebounding. Hopefully their Q4 earnings turn out well and they start opening HC soon

#

Daily prayers 🕉️11:11🕉️

fast dew

hopefully today 🙏

rose sorrel
#

yea

rose sorrel
#

just got an email saying I’ll get an update in 2 weeks

fast dew
#

or did they just send an email

rose sorrel
#

didn’t email and ds

fast dew
#

meta offers in 2 weeks 🙏

worldly gust

#

May God bless us all.

worldly gust
#

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.

rose sorrel
#

i think its role dependent

#

ds, de, pe, and swe might all be at different stages

worldly gust
#

@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?.

rose sorrel
#

no offer deadlines this my only one

worldly gust
south trout

#

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. 😭

south trout
#

I got straight ghosted for DE

#

Need a different rec fr

worldly gust
#

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

rose sorrel
worldly gust
#

No. Someone on reddit that I talked to. I think her first round went well.

rose sorrel
worldly gust
#

20th November

#

Got this email yesterday

worldly gust
#

Probably the week after, if before the holidays.

#

Meta’s stock is going up though.

wraith pine
#

Meta recruiter said he’s gonna keep me updated after rejecting me last week 😭😭 wtf

rose sorrel
#

what did he say exactly?

worldly gust
#

My recruiter is in office

#

I have mailed her. I will let you guys know if she responds. She is bad at responding though.

wraith pine
#

Literally just he’s gonna keep me updated as he hears more on his end 💀

worldly gust
fast dew
#

New week new chance of offers 🙏

lavish plank
#

anyone rec cg for swe

worldly gust
#

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

rose sorrel
#

is this a good sign? can anyone interpret whats happening lmao

worldly gust
#

What did they say?

#

Latest news?

wraith pine
#

I don’t think there’s an update for this week lol

worldly gust
#

Man the holidays are gonna suck with anxiety

#

Hope they have something better the break

abstract scaffold
#

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?

grim nest
abstract scaffold
#

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

grim nest
#

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 just did my interview yesterday for the swe intern role in another country 😭

#

I don’t know if I’m also cooked

worldly gust
#

😭🤦🏻‍♂️ not even any interview feedback

rose sorrel
#

hey @worldly gust could u dm me the contact of the ds person ur talking to on reddit

worldly gust
#

Done.

worldly gust
#

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

fast dew
#

I can feel an offer coming my way tomorrow 🙏

fast dew
worldly gust
rose sorrel
#

my recruiter said apporximately 2 weeks last week so maybe next week we'll hear something?

worldly gust
#

But usually companies decide on budgets and HCs after the break

worldly gust
#

Meta announced 30% funds being cut to Metaverse and 10% across all boards 🤦🏻‍♂️

fast dew
worldly gust
#

Or, pumped into their AI Capex which is announced to be $70B for 2026

keen leaf
#

Quick question does everyone get an onsite survey?

worldly gust
#

It doesn’t mean much.

fast dew
#

Damn I didn't even get one 😔

keen leaf

#

the 12th

keen leaf
#

I did my interview like 3 days ago

#

Not it asking me to rate my recruiter 💀

fast dew
#

Ohh the experience survey?

#

I got that one

keen leaf
#

Don’t wanna rate my recruiter badly, we’ve only communicated like twice

#

And that was the next steps email

worldly gust
#

Saw this on Reddit. This is for SWE. Are they rejecting people now even after them passing the interviews?

worldly gust
#

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?

wraith pine
#

No I think he sent that to me on accident lol

#

I got rejected by email before that anyway

worldly gust
#

Did you talk to your recruiter about it? Sometimes your applications get moved around. It happens in Amazon.

worldly gust
#

Wait, you got that email as well?

rose sorrel
#

"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

keen leaf
worldly gust
keen leaf
#

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

south trout
#

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

fast dew
#

and free training for potential conversion

#

but we always get cut anyways

proud scroll
#

Is there any chances Meta open process again next week 😭

#

I’ve already finished my final and wait for decision

fast dew
#

Frfr I have a feeling too

vital kettle
proud scroll
vital kettle
#

usually when headcount opens back up for companies

proud scroll
#

just curious, why meta runs out of hc so fast, like my friends got his offer at Feb last year

vital kettle
#

they also slowed down hiring last year around this time

#

but they never announced a formal pause

ancient ruin
#

got de pause email last week

#

is it over 🥲

keen leaf
#

I heard they started sending the pause emails like a month ago

proud scroll
ancient ruin
#

yeah US

#

had final last month

#

will there be any update for de soon like for ds?

keen leaf
#

It seems it’s not just the US in a hiring freeze

#

We are collectively cooked😭

proud scroll
#

Pray for new week guys

keen leaf
#

Not to me but someone else said they got it

keen leaf
#

What if we all bought meta stocks

#

It would make the price go up 😭

keen leaf
#

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😭🙏

keen leaf
#

I reckon the person did the OA before the freeze

rose sorrel
#

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

keen leaf
#

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

grim nest
#

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

keen leaf
#

We will not go to Christmas without that damn offer

proud scroll
grim nest
#

yeah

#

like 3 weeks ago

proud scroll
#

Yeah, maybe they’ll open it next week, if it were this week, they wouldn’t have sent an email like that.

worldly gust
#

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

The UK

keen steppe

ohhh that’s fire

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!

proud scroll
keen leaf
#

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

ancient ruin
#

Same, my recruiter said they were hoping for an update by mid dec but its unclear if theyll have an update by then

rose sorrel
#

I think the one who said he got an offer is trolling lmao

worldly gust
worldly gust
#

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

proud scroll
fast dew
#

they are probably trolling

#

idek know anymore

#

what I do know is meta offer coming my way tmr 🙏

proud scroll
#

Whay do you mean potential resume

fast dew
#

oh damn

#

meta offer unironically tmr

#

@atomic bolt did your recruiter give any more details besides resume?

#

oh 😭 nvm offers in jan 🙏

keen leaf
#

The late January thing does checkout with Q4 earnings drop

#

We just gotta keep hoping and praying ong

rose sorrel
#

why is one recruiter saying its unclear and another saying big wave jan-feb lmao

keen leaf
#

That’s crazy💀

rose sorrel
#

brian could be capping

vital kettle
#

I’ve never heard of meta calling some1

keen leaf
#

The verbal offer

vital kettle
#

for intern??

keen leaf
#

Then the actual one

keen leaf
proud scroll
#

I think someone is trolling for that one.

proud scroll
#

Guys, Brian is trolling

#

He said he had final on 2nd Nov

#

But that day is Sunday

#

Ohhh my bad my bad

proud scroll
#

Pray for meta offer tmr guys

lavish plank
#

it was like nov 10 iirc

#

but he said he got the freeze before his final

proud scroll
#

Maybe his 2nd week is from 10th to 14th Nov

#

Ghosted by my recruiter after emailing this morning

proud scroll

worldly gust
#

Person from Reddit got rejected for a Data Engineer position

#

They interviewed 11/3/2025

#

They just got rejected today

proud scroll
#

Omggg

#

So scareeeee

#

🥲

worldly gust
#

Yeah, so not getting rejected by 2 weeks doesn’t probably mean we passed the final round ig

keen leaf
#

Did the person get the rejection via email or was it only on their portal

proud scroll
#

Why does Meta treat us like that?

keen leaf
#

Cos some people said they checked their portal and saw they were rejected a few weeks ago

keen leaf
#

I’d prefer if they rejected and waitlisted those who passed

#

That way we atleast know 😭🙏

proud scroll
#

Destroy our christmas

worldly gust
keen leaf
proud scroll
#

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

keen leaf
#

Ong😭

#

They straight up froze every office😭😭

#

Fair

#

I can’t 😭

rose sorrel
worldly gust
#

Nah haven’t asked yet. Will ask and let you guys know

proud scroll
#

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

worldly gust
#

If you don’t email them, the risk increases.

#

I think it’s better to email them and keep the pipeline warm

proud scroll
#

Okay okay tysm

ancient ruin
worldly gust
#

They aren’t responding on Reddit anymore. Probably lost skin in the game.

keen leaf
worldly gust
#

Yeah saw that

keen leaf
#

Day 2 of being ghosted by my recruiter lmao😭

#

Me too

#

I email recruiter yesterday

#

Not heard back yet

#

My recruiter did read my email, but they still haven’t replied.

worldly gust
proud scroll
#

Lol, i have email tracker extension

worldly gust
#

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?

keen leaf
#

It’s the same 😭

worldly gust
#

Well at least not rejected then

proud scroll

They got reject through email or portal

#

Does anybody know?

# worldly gust Wdym?

my meta recruiters this year and last year always go on vacation at the worst time

#

*all my recruiters for all my procs

worldly gust
#

😂😂😂

fast dew
#

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

#

😭

fast dew
worldly gust
#

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.

worldly gust
proud scroll
#

What is the different between recruiter and coordinator

#

Like i have two recruiter and 1 coordinator

vital kettle
#

every recruiter is saying the same thing (that they are paused and dont know when they wont be)

fast dew
#

coordinator schedules interviews and deals with other logistical stuff

south trout
#

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 😖

proud scroll
#

thought they stopped giving out OA since November 10th

fast dew
#

no last year was normal

worldly gust
#

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.

fast dew
#

I did my interview the day after you last year

#

Heard back in like december on my results

proud scroll
#

Someone got offer at first week December

rose sorrel
#

did u see this on discord?

#

Yes

rose sorrel

yea we were talking abt that yesterday, i think 2 people claimed to have gotten offers

#

not sure if its true

I’m starting to see more people say they got rejected on Reddit and discord 😭

Where, Can you send it rh

#

🥲

keen leaf
#

Like 3 people said they got rejected like yesterday

proud scroll
#

Omggg

#

Lol

keen leaf
#

Yeah😭

worldly gust
#

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

keen leaf

#

It was 3 weeks back

keen leaf
#

Did you manage to contact the person in the server that said they got rejected 2 days ago/yesterday

worldly gust
keen leaf
#

They said they were pausing on decisions tho

#

That’s really weird

worldly gust
#

It’s all up in the air at this point

#

People who didn’t clear the bar got rejected

#

Usually pretty quickly

keen leaf
#

I’d honestly prefer if they gave us decisions and waitlisted

worldly gust
keen leaf
worldly gust
#

We are just potential interns. Not a lot of stakes.

keen leaf
#

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 💀

worldly gust
#

Did you do your OA or final?

keen leaf
worldly gust
#

How did you do?

keen leaf
#

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

keen leaf
# worldly gust How did you do?

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🙏

keen leaf
proud scroll
#

My friends had itv at 6th Nov

#

And got offer at 8th Nov

keen leaf
# proud scroll Why October

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

worldly gust
#

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.

keen leaf
#

wtf

#

I would have closed the zoom right there and then

worldly gust
#

Yeah I was stoked too.

keen leaf
worldly gust
#

It was crazy

keen leaf
#

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

worldly gust
#

Yeah I asked him some questions about what he did. But not too much.

#

He was dry af

keen leaf
keen steppe
#

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

keen leaf

Cos today is 9am for me

keen leaf
keen leaf
keen steppe
#

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

proud scroll
fast dew
#

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

vital kettle
#

if they really unpaused a lot more ppl would’ve heard back

proud scroll
#

My recruiter has ghosted me for three days

proud scroll
#

Anyone got update today?

Next week is so close to holiday

Anyone waiting for Production Engineering intern after their finals over here?

keen leaf
#

Someone got rejected recently

#

Like 3 days ago

#

After finals

#

It sounded kinda like hc

#

For the pe intern role

worldly gust
#

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.

worldly gust
#

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

anyone hear anything?

Nothing as of now 🤦🏻‍♂️

Probably in January or Feb

Did you get this email today?

Offers on christmas 🙏

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

vital kettle
#

Insane waiting time

worldly gust
#

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

proud scroll
#

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.

keen leaf
worldly gust
#

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?

rose sorrel
#

maybe his friend is a manager?

worldly gust
proud scroll
#

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

Do you mind sharing how your interview went? Sounds like you were a strong hire looking at the time to offer.

abstract scaffold
#

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!

rose sorrel
#

did you get an email abt the offer or did ur portal just update

vital kettle
#

swe?

#

I see

rose sorrel
#

do u guys think they are unfreezing or just someone from PE dropped out so they replaced with the next strongest

proud scroll

I think it depends on ur recruiter

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?

worldly gust
#

I think it has got smth to do with systems and infrastructure. They’re investing heavily into ML infrastructure

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

proud scroll
#

Any update for swe guys?

rose sorrel

best way to know if any of the other roles will reopen is probably checking the careers site to see if they have reopened

Why meee

Why they dont put us in waitlist

this was the waitlist basically

flint sable
#

to those that got rejected today, what role was it for?

I wonder what the size of this intern cohort is

flint sable

damn it's ggs

lavish plank

maybe we js got rej and theres still swes on the wl

but even then I can only apply for new grad

so might not even apply to me

flint sable

damn im from the uk and waiting on swe intern, expecting a rejection soon most likely 💔

lavish plank
#

theres still swes here who havent gotten the email

#

right

flint sable
#

interesting to see that they've reopened production engineer and network production engineer for interns

#

im assuming hc hasn't been reached for those

worldly gust

Every email that I am getting is triggering mini heart attack 😭

remote totem

took final nov 17

flint sable

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 💀

except the 12th

#

fr

wide bramble
#

the freeze is done right?

dusky bay
fast dew
#

doing it right before christmas is fucked

#

watch some recruiters be on vacation rn so you won't even hear back until jan

dusky bay
#

oh god bro that would genuinely be horrible

remote totem
#

i finished interview in 20 min bro

#

fml

fast dew
#

wasted my best interview performance for this

worldly gust
#

Yeah my friend who works at Meta said that it’s a holiday today

#

Nobody is working today

#

Idk what that means

rose sorrel
#

wait were rejections automated then

dusky bay
#

how did they send out emails then 😭 just for the love of the game or what

rose sorrel
#

recruiters could be on different schedule than engineers

worldly gust
#

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

lavish plank
#

so the brian dude was js trolling😭

keen leaf
#

Ts is actually so painful

#

Did they actually confirm now if your interview results roll over to next year?

lavish plank
#

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

fast dew
#

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?

keen leaf
lavish plank
#

idts they jisy said my interview was valud for a year

worldly gust
#

What a messed up process

dusky bay
lavish plank
#

portal still is the same

fast dew
#

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?

people r saying they got meta offers too though

Probably diff role

#

PE or DE?

rose sorrel
#

they prob stack ranked for swe and then filled up hiring with some people they chose, rest got hced maybe

dusky bay
worldly gust
#

Swe

dusky bay
#

like they got it today? along with the wave of rejections?

#

what even is this company

worldly gust
#

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

proud scroll
#

It’s not true

#

Cause my recruiter is from AI/ML org

keen steppe
#

what’s not true ?

#

like the persons trolling abt getting offer?

keen steppe
#

ohh gotchu

worldly gust
proud scroll
#

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

worldly gust
#

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

proud scroll

No i already got reject

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!

fast dew
#

I got exact email last year

#

Swe might be only one at hc and rejecting atm

worldly gust
#

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.

keen steppe
#

i feel like bros trolling tho

fast dew
#

Dropped the news and just dipped

#

could be

keen steppe
#

ong

fast dew
#

Could also just be him

keen steppe
#

disappeared as soon as ppl asked for more info

fast dew
#

if they did have like a few roles left and just filled them up

keen steppe

it’s prolly wraps ngl

#

shi tragic

fast dew
#

Light work I'm getting new grad next year

#

I'm in the system still

#

Third time's the charm they say 😭

worldly gust
#

So, everyone in the US waiting for SWE intern offers from this server is rejected already?

#

Or, is anybody still left?

#

Not yet

dusky bay
#

just got reject

rose sorrel
#

for swe?

dusky bay
#

yep

worldly gust
#

Sounds like most people are getting rejected then

#

Probably will get to know by today or next week

#

Shit

dusky bay
#

yep

worldly gust
#

When did you get the email?

worldly gust
dusky bay
#

i assume ppl get the email whenever their recruiter decides to send it out

worldly gust
#

I thought recruiters weren’t working today

dusky bay
#

apparently not

worldly gust
#

Did you email your recruiter for an update?

dusky bay
#

yep will lyk the response

worldly gust
dusky bay
#

i emailed them, ill let you know what they respond with

worldly gust
#

I lowkey wanna email my recruiter for an update but scared as hell

worldly gust
#

Sounds like they sent you the rejection email first

dusky bay
#

yea

keen leaf
#

So is the interview even valid for next year

#

Cos the emails are hc it’s not clear at all

fast dew
#

I don't think next year intern cycle they will reuse the results from this year

keen leaf
fast dew
#

I'm just guessing but it wouldn't make sense to keep the scores valid for next year

keen leaf
#

wtf

worldly gust
#

Yeah but most other roles like PE or DE or DS have very different interviews and processes from swe. How do they tally it?

keen leaf
#

Are they really switching it up on us this year

#

This feels like punishment

worldly gust
keen leaf
#

Fuck

fast dew
#

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

keen leaf
# fast dew wtf they do that?

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

fast dew
#

Cutting interns is alr a bad sign

keen leaf
#

Fuck my life

#

I don’t even care about return offers

fast dew
#

this is why I'm going back to amazon, they would never do that to us

worldly gust
fast dew
#

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

keen leaf
fast dew
worldly gust
#

That’s true though.

fast dew
#

Anything for the shareholders

keen leaf
#

Fuck this shit

#

They can’t even say whether or not we can apply next year wtf

fast dew
#

We can

keen leaf
#

Yeah but what about our interview

fast dew
#

I skill issued last year and was able to reapply for this cycle

keen leaf
#

They’re not telling us if we passed or not

fast dew
#

We can assume we passed, cause otherwise you would've just been rejected even with pause

keen leaf
#

Results invalid go through this shit based luck process again

fast dew
#

results carrying over just email and ask them

keen leaf
fast dew
#

I thought a bunch of people got rejected during the pause

#

not related to the HC

#

I may be wrong tbh

keen leaf
#

I saw rejects for pe and others

#

Not swe tho

fast dew
#

Ohh

#

Yeah ok we won't know then 🫤

#

fuckass tech man

#

I should've done dental school

worldly gust
fast dew
#

I really wanted to leave home

#

And the team I'm on is lowkey next on the chopping block

keen leaf
#

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

worldly gust
#

Life is unfair

#

Someone got an offer again on

#

The fuck is happening?

fast dew
#

Maybe stack rank at the very end?

worldly gust
#

Who knows

#

But you guys had great itv tho

#

It is very luck based bro

fast dew
worldly gust
#

Yea

fast dew
#

Nothing I could've done different so we move on 🤷‍♂️

worldly gust
#

So how do they even stack rank similar performances?

fast dew
#

no clue they could honestly pick blindly and it'll work

worldly gust
#

Holy lottery

keen leaf
worldly gust
#

Who knows. Brian, the guy today and this person.

#

Can’t be all trolls, can it?

keen leaf
#

Accounts that haven’t said anything at all before tho?

worldly gust
#

Most people wouldn’t say anything at all

#

I think swe offers are sparse and rejections more common unlike pe

worldly gust
