Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
Two technical phone screen interviews were followed by an invitation to Facebook University Day at a campus of my choice (Menlo Park, Seattle, or NYC) – all expenses paid.
On campus, I had a final technical interview with one of the developers. The rest of the day was spent getting to know the campus and some of the newly hired developers, as well as a Q&A with a senior developer.

- 4.0Still a great place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesApril 28, 2014Pros: Even after 4.5 years, the work is inspiring and the new challenges are exciting. Still the smartest employees in the business with a broad view of the world, which allows the company to serve many different cultures.Cons: Miss the small company atmosphere of knowing everyone and getting down and dirty on multiple projects at once.
- 4.0Software Engineer InternSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesJuly 12, 2012Pros: • Transparent and flat environment. • Very good work environment and state-of-the-art work devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone, etc.). • Awesome free food. • Competitive salary, around 5-6K (after deduction of taxes). • You are kind of free to work where you think you perform best.Cons: - The internship plan/project wasn't clear. There was almost nothing in it, and I figured out some projects to work on. - The evaluation scheme for the internship was a disaster too. It was more of a like/hate evaluation rather than a good/bad performance in the project.
