There is always a lot of bitterness on the topic of FAANG interviews, and also a lot of bashing of engineers working there. It's difficult to hire large number of people globally without some level of standardization. What I like with FAANG is that the interview process is fair. The rules are explicit and they give a chance to quite a lot of people (including people with slightly unconventional profile). Another myth is that FAANG engineers are just leetcode grinders and are useless beyond that. What struck me is how diverse the people working there are. In term of educational background, origin, professional experience, age... I find it pretty remarkable. It's hard to make any general statement about this population considering how diverse it is.
