Q . Tell me about Meta in your own words , can you explain what it ’ s like to work there ?
» Working for Meta , I find my enjoyment stems from the people and the culture . I am fortunate to work with some of the smartest people I know . The second element is the culture Meta has cultivated . You have a lot of autonomy in how you work and what you work on at times , which I think is a great way to treat your employees . Meta trusts us to complete work that will benefit the company and complement our skillset .
It ' s also a very engineering focused culture . Engineers are able to own the problems end-to-end . The final thing about Meta that I find incredibly exciting is its position at the forefront of technology . All the cutting-edge technology you see in the current world is being applied at Meta in some way , and it ’ s great to be a part of that .
Q . What is it about technology that excites you ? Why did you decide to work in this field ?
» I think the biggest step change in humanity has always come through some technological transformation , and that is what drives me to succeed in this field . One of the things that is evident is that the pandemic has really accelerated the digital revolution . It has shown that technology is invaluable and crucial
