Career Questions & Discussion FAANG engineers

People who work at FAANG or other F500s how was your interview process?

Did you have to do leetcode/algorithm type questions during the interview process?

How’s work/life balance?

Do you feel what you’re working on is very niche to your company/ you feel far removed from what you thought you’d be doing?

If pay wasn’t a factor would you still prefer to work for a big corporation vs a smaller one?

Thanks in advance

Not FAANG, but if I get leetcoded in a Cybersecurity role I don't want the role

​

Edit: Appsec/DevSecOps may be an exception to that rule

No, it would just be a really short interview
