Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
The whiteboard questions were overly complicated, seemingly for the sake of complexity rather than assessing skills.
The feedback I received was that the coding portion wasn't up to par. This suggests that if I had been hired, my work would have been nit-picked to death, sabotaged, and argued with.
No wonder Facebook products are what they are. I am satisfied that the interview revealed the fit wasn't good in both directions.
Questions
whiteboard coding.
