Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

Process

Facebook conducted a phone interview after a coding test. Initially, they asked me to solve one of their quiz problems before proceeding with the coding test. Since I was busy, they decided to move directly to the coding test.

While I presumably passed the coding test, age discrimination appears rampant at Facebook.

Phone interview questions included, "We work hard, so how many hours do you typically put in on the job?" I don't think the answer mattered, as I suspect they are looking for people to work 168 hours a week.

Questions

The coding test was in Javascript without the use of libraries.
