Getting it done
Getting it done
Disclaimer: This is my particular insight into working in engineering at Facebook.
The people here are smart. Very much so. The people here are driven. Even more so.
If a challenge comes up, people come together and solve it and do it correctly; the buck doesn't get passed.
The product is very engineer-driven. If you're interested in product work but love the task of actually building it, Facebook is a good fit.
I was choosing between Product Management at Google and Engineering at Facebook, and I think I made the right call for me.
Biggest con for me is that they are in Menlo Park, and I live in San Francisco. They run very efficient shuttles, but that's only second best to having a close office.
Keep up the good work!

Pretty standard. Just grind LeetCode. They basically want you to make zero mistakes and solve problems like a robot. They don’t really care about your thought process, just that you find the most optimized solution ASAP.

The whole process took about two months. It started with a 30-minute recruiter call, then a 90-minute online assessment with four questions. I didn’t have time to finish all four, but somehow passed that round. The next step was a technical screenin
