Process
Spoke with a recruiter and completed a first-round phone interview.
Was asked a LeetCode medium and a LeetCode hard question. Solved both, but did not solve the hard question optimally. Very straightforward.
Questions
Why Facebook?
I was asked about my interests, as the role involved being onboarded and then choosing a team to work on if offered a position.

Summer 2014 Software Development Engineering Intern
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
March 24, 2015
Pros: Great perks and working atmosphere.
The people you work with are all top-notch, highly motivated, and competent. You learn about many new technologies, and the work you do has immediate impact. Very fast development cycle.
Cons: The fast pace and development cycle can seem sloppy and disorganized at times. There is the drive to "be bold and break things" or "done is better than perfect." Many new ideas come from hackathons. Facebook is very product-driven, with less of an emphasis on architectural integrity and sound infrastructure.
