I will be interning at Meta for this summer. After watching the videos on Taro, I learned that Meta engineers are evaluated according to four axes: project impact, direction, engineering excellence, and people impact.
I was wondering if a similar criteria is used to evaluate the performance of interns. From what I've observed, I feel the direction axis may be less relevant for interns since it involves setting the roadmap for the larger org.
If possible, I would also appreciate any examples of common failure modes to avoid for each criterion, as they would help us better understand potential pitfalls.
Thank you so much for your help!
You're in luck - I literally made a course on the Meta internship: Nail Your Return Offer As A Meta Software Engineer Intern
For interns, they are only really evaluated on 1 axis and that's "Engineering Excellence". This is more or less the case for full-time E3s as well.
I recommend going through this thread as well: "Internship Metrics For Conversion?"
Lastly, take this course (if you truly follow the advice from this course, you are 90% good to go): Level Up Your Code Quality As A Software Engineer
