Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

July 1, 2012
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I had a great feeling of solid communication with the recruiters. They kept me accurately informed about interview progress.

In order to establish an appropriate level of compensation, they sought information about my current employment without being invasive. I felt the interview process could be described by integrity and maturity, making Facebook a great place to work.

This is in stark contrast to my experience interviewing with other companies (namely Google). After I passed the technical interviews, the recruiters pushed for very detailed compensation information. In the end, they failed to provide an offer and missed deadlines in their communication, causing me to miss a competitive exploding offer.
