Process
I applied through a recruiter.
I got a reach out from the recruiter to start with an OA. Once I got a full score on the OA, I moved onto the technical round. There I was asked a LeetCode hard and easy. Once I passed that, I got an offer in three days.

Worst experience of my life
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
October 27, 2018
Pros: Compensation is a little bit better compared with similar companies. But the price-performance ratio is quite low.
Everything looks good.
Cons: I worked at the Instagram ads feed ads solution team as a software engineer. I selected this team because what they did was more related to my previous experience.
It turns out what you are capable of is not an important thing.
I do not know about other teams at Facebook, but this is definitely the worst experience of my life.
The manager is very picky, micromanaging, and very unprofessional. The way he used to manage was to threaten and provoke people's fear. I did not see how they could encourage and motivate others.
It is a sort of office politics and chaos with regard to the code, documentation, and procedures.
