Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I received a phone call from a recruiter one day after I applied online. She asked me general questions about my experience and expectations.
The onsite interview happened about 10 days later. I only talked to one person, who once again asked me about my experience and what I liked about FB. Then, he asked me one coding question: given a binary tree, write a function that returns the Lowest Common Ancestor of two given nodes. After I completed that, there was some time when I was allowed to ask questions about the company or team.
The next day, I received an email stating they had no position for me.
Questions
What can Facebook (FB) do to beat its competitors in my country, where it is not the most popular social network?
