Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I stopped by Facebook's table at my university's career fair to drop off my resume.
About a week later, I received an email inviting me for an interview at my university's career center. If I performed well, another interview would be scheduled for the following day.
The first interview was 30 minutes long and included one technical coding question and a "Why Facebook?" question.
That evening, I found out I was invited for another interview the next day.
The second interview was 45 minutes long and included three technical coding questions and a "Why Facebook?" question (again).
The recruiter emailed all the university recruits, stating that results would be collected and communicated within a week.
On Tuesday, I received an email from my recruiter saying I had done well on my interviews. She introduced me to a different recruiter, to whom I had to send my availability for a phone call to discuss next steps. I initially thought I needed to schedule another interview; however, it turned out my recruiter was calling to extend me an offer.

Meta Work Experiences
- 4.0Being an intern means getting spoiledSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesApril 30, 2015Pros: - spoiled by the perks (free food everywhere, arcade, game centers, lounges, micro kitchens) - actually really good execs (they at least came off as genuine and mostly transparent) - intern events (not really my thing, but it was nice that the effort was invested to host them)Cons: - No transparency surrounding return offer decisions, no say in which team you will work on. - The amount of effort intern managers put in varies greatly, so intern experiences vary greatly as well. - People seem to be happy with a stable 9-5 job and don't seem to want much else in life.
- 3.0Good Pay, Hectic BalanceSoftware Engineer Intern • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesOctober 30, 2022Pros: Very good pay and good time balance.Cons: Very hectic, but good pay.
- 4.0Facebook internship reviewSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesOctober 21, 2015Pros: Facebook has great people, culture, and benefits for employees. Interns are given the chance to live in corporate housing with excellent conditions. Also, three meals per day and transport to and from work is a really good thing. Working in open spaces is another good thing about FB, since you get to easier communicate and work with people in your team or different teams. Also, the sweet shop was my favorite place!Cons: Project allocation was probably not suitable for all of us, since there were more than 1000 interns this summer.
