Process
My experience with Facebook recruitment was very good. I applied through their careers page and received an email from a recruiter no more than 10 minutes later. I was sent a link to an online quiz that had questions related to the role I was applying for. After my responses, the recruiter scheduled a quick call.
I then proceeded to two 45-minute online coding interviews with two different engineers from Facebook. Both interviews were very pleasant and relaxed. The questions were not too difficult at the start but then became more complex. The people who interviewed me were very friendly and reasonable; it did not feel like they were testing me (even though they were), but rather like we were evaluating my fit for the role together.
After my interviews, I was very uncertain of how I did. The recruiter called me and informed me that they wanted me on the team, and they gave me an offer.
Facebook has been very friendly, present, and helpful at all steps in the recruitment process.

- 4.0IMPACT, but at what cost?Production Engineer • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesOctober 2, 2020Pros: The classic FAANG perks, the sick campus, the IMPACT.Cons: The fact that the CEO keeps getting dragged in front of Congress to answer for calamities FB policies enable is a bit of a downer, I will say.
- 5.0Wonderful people, fun work, great cultureProduction Engineer • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesOctober 15, 2017Pros: Compensation, benefits, and perks are incredible. Company culture is so, so good. I've had two great managers who both have done an excellent job supporting my growth and guiding my career. It also feels like senior and C-level management really cares about employees. It feels like Facebook, the company, really tries to support me as a whole person (but be sure to ask for what you need; nobody's a mind reader). For engineering, bootcamp and team selection are such a good idea. I freaking love my team, and I get to own my decision to join that team (rather than some hiring/allocation manager deciding where I get to go). Very few operational rules/bureaucracy. I can SSH into any machine I need to. If someone's fighting a fire anywhere in the company and I am able to help, I feel like I can always jump in to help. I really like Infra, so being at a big company like FB is super fun.Cons: On-call shifts can kill your sleep if things are noisy overnight. There's a little bit of an "always on-the-grid" culture, which contributes towards the 4/5 work/life balance, but it's generally not too hard to fight it. Most people who work a lot end up doing it because they're passionate about their work, anyway.
