Front End Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
My interview process at Facebook was very chaotic.
After being contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn, I was passed through four different recruiters during my interview process.
While each individual person seemed nice, my experience seemed to reflect my impression of the company as a whole: disorganized and unguided.
After intensely preparing for white-boarding interviews, I was ultimately left with ambiguous feedback about their decision not to move forward after the on-site, which seemed largely based on the subjective feedback of a single interviewer.
Facebook definitely does not seem like the holy grail of tech companies to work for that its reputation sometimes suggests.
