I'm not a hiring manager, and I have worked at five different companies with at least 10K engineers. All of them were "code first, review later". All five companies were very profitable and technology was a core component to their commercial success.

I can’t speak for your specific jobs, but my understanding is this is standard practice at FANGA: write an RFC or Eng Spec. Get it approved. Code it up.

When I worked at unprofitable, small startups, a lot of mental energy was lost due to miscommunications before the MR review process. Eg an engineer would be tasked to complete a project, but misunderstood a critical component and only after n-days of work was this identified and corrected.
