Software Engineering Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
After a competition Facebook held on campus, I was invited to interview on our university's campus.
The interview consisted of a 45-minute one-on-one with an employee. It was a standard interview: a brief chat about your resume/CV, a coding problem, then questions for the interviewer.
There was nothing exceptionally hard about the interview. Know your algorithms and data structures. My question involved neither.
I had a lot of fun with the problem.
My interviewer knew his stuff but refused to admit that Facebook uses JavaScript.
