Meta, like many big tech companies, has some fantastic engineers, some lousy ones, and some in between. At this point I don’t pay too much attention to where someone worked previously, and try to get to know candidates individually. They’re all just different people, like you and me!

There are definitely things you should adjust depending on where a candidate is from. People tend to inherit things from the overall culture, particularly if it's been a major part of their career. It's better not to ask an Apple employee what they worked on in any detail, or an Amazon employee why they're leaving, for example.

Helps avoid potentially uncomfortable situations on both sides and increase the signal/noise ratio.
