Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I was introduced to Facebook by one of the recruiters approaching on LinkedIn.
After a phone screening, there was a 45- to 60-minute on-site screening interview with one person before the full, one-day panel of interviews.
The room allocated for the interview was so small that if both people stood up and talked, they were literally in each other's face.

Meta Work Experiences
- 4.0Good if total compensation is what you are looking forSoftware Engineering Manager • Former EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesAugust 25, 2023Pros: Total compensation is really a beast. It can be up to 800k per year if you exceed expectations.Cons: Many managers have very little people management experience. They come from the technical ladder and lack techniques to inspire and develop people.
- 5.0FB: Hard Problems and Fun PeopleSoftware Engineering Manager • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesDecember 8, 2016Pros: It's a social networking company, so it pre-selects for social people. Most of my coworkers want to be friends in addition to colleagues. The scale is amazing. It's exciting but also humbling to sit in a room and talk about how 1 billion people will use our product. With that scale comes the requirement for precision in algorithms, data structures, and code clarity that I've never experienced before.Cons: Being very data-driven can push out more sentiment-based projects and sometimes puts too much of a burden on teams to identify exactly the right metric to optimize for. Tooling for developers is improving, but with such a large codebase and so many developers, creating a branch, making a change, and building can take a long time. This is especially true on mobile.
- 4.0Strong Team, Complex ChallengesSoftware Engineering Manager • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesApril 6, 2024Pros: Strong talent, complex infra problems, respectful cultureCons: Very dynamic environment, too much process.
