Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I chatted with a recruiter, who then directed me to the recruiter for Facebook Seattle.
She had a list of multiple-choice Android questions as a really quick initial screen.
After that, I had a Skype interview with an engineer there. It was mostly coding questions worked through in an online shared textpad environment.
After that, I had a day with four onsite interviews. One was around system design, one was on my career so far/career goals, and two more coding interviews.
