I can’t be the only person in their late 30s that just a few years ago still had a tony bit of hope of someday working for a FAANG or some other amazing company like CloudFlare. And the longer I postponed the decision to actually prepare and apply the more it became clear that these companies are not what we thought they (anymore?). Thanks to this wonderful person I can now rule out another company I will not even consider working for. And if that wonderful person os reading this by any chance, I wish you all the best going forward, you seem like a you would be a great addition to any team.

She was likely stack ranked. You can rule out many big tech companies then, if you don't agree with it. Its been happening for many many years...

Most companies that pay insanely well like FAANG were always ruthless with people, they were just better at hiding it in previous years. Microsoft was notorious for stack ranking, amazon has always been Pip happy. Even google had a not so secret but always kept quiet “up or out” policy since its inception.
