Process
The interview process was pretty decent. It involved one phone screening followed by a virtual onsite. The interviews focused on coding, behavioral questions, and some system design. LeetCode is very helpful for preparing for these interviews.

Software Engineer • Current Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
March 11, 2025
Pros: Unique challenges to work on, highly competent colleagues to work with and learn from, and high personal autonomy to contribute your best.
Slightly higher comp level, still great benefits even after some reductions were made, paid parental leave of 4 months, and relocation.
The therapy is a must-have here and it is compensated as well.
Cons: Competitive work environment which does not forget and does not forgive.
Regular layoffs, starting in 2022, undermined trust in leadership, despite assurances that "no layoffs are planned."

A truly great workplace
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
November 13, 2012
Pros: Great co-workers - Facebook employs extraordinary people. Working with such amazing people makes all the difference.
Open environment - Facebook encourages you to break boundaries. You are always welcome to come up with new ideas, crazy as they seem.
Great benefits and perks - The campus in MPK is amazing: gym, food, laundry, coffee, doctor – everything for the employees. The 4-month parental leave wasn't bad either.
Cons: Facebook outside MPK is not as great.
The remote locations don't have the same range of perks and won't be as great to work for.
