Facebook Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Contacted through LinkedIn. Did two phone interviews.

Interview Details Get contacted by HR after drop resume in a campus event.
Attended the on campus interview.

The process is very fast paced. And the interviewer is very friendly.

He provided hints and gave follow-up discussion about your solution.

Interview Details "Speed Dating" style of interviews. Once you get past the initial phone interviews you then move to multiple in person 30 minute discussions with a variety of people/positions. Depending on what position you interview for you will also be asked to present to a team member on a specific topic.

Interview Details I had a screening interview with a recruiter, then a phone interview with someone currently in the position.

Interview Details Two days after internal referral, recruiter contacted me and set-up a phone interview. The coding problems are standard and not difficult. Two weeks later, I went to their head quarter for the onsite interview. There are 4 rounds of technical interviews, involving coding and database design.

Wait almost 4 weeks before the recruiter got back to me and offered me a position.

Interview Details I was contacted by the recruiter who found me via graph search, and was asked whether I was job hunting. I chose to go onsite for the initial phone screen. The question was straightforward with emphasis on fast and accurate coding, and the interviewer was very knowledgeable.

A few days after the screen the recruiter scheduled an on-site with me, and the dates were quite flexible. The on-site consisted of four interviews, 3 pure coding (of which one is about design) and 1 research interview (I guess this is for all PhD applicants). I was quite happy with the coding ones but the research one was, well, a little annoying since the interviewer seemed to be dismissive to everything. But overall, it was a nice experience, two interviews plus lunch + tour around plus two in the afternoon, and it was done!

I did wait for 3 weeks till the decision was make, and during the period the HR seems to be a little nonresponsive. When I followed up what I received was something like a one line email saying "we are reviewing your case and will come back to you soon". This was a little annoying especially the feeling of being silently rejected started to grow, but I guess it is not the HR's fault anyway.

In the end I was offered a job with flexible titles - software engineer or research scientist or whatever. I decided not to take the offer in the end, but the interview process was very smooth.

Interview Details Had two interviews. Both technical, and on-campus (at my college). Second interview was harder than the first.

Interview Details I originally applied online and spoke with one recruiter. She did not feel I was a good fit for the team she was recruiting for but referred me to another recruiter at Facebook. I spoke with the second recruiter on the phone and she set a technical interview on-site in Menlo Park. The guy who interviewed me was very nice and while I didn't do a great job on the question, they liked me enough to schedule a full day of interviews.

After some preparation, I came onsite for a full-day of technical interviews with a lunch break in the middle. The pace was very fast but I knew it would be like that so I was prepared. The questions were difficult especially in the limited amount of time. Everyone was very nice. There was a design round where I was asked to design an iPhone app that was unrelated to social networking.

Interview Details I was contacted on 25 February via LinkedIn following a recommendation. The position was in the Mobile Operations team. It was followed by a series of phone interviews:
 - one with the technical sourcer
 - one with the head of the team
 - two more with some specialists in various departments
Following the phone interviews, was an onsite interview in Menlo Park on 22 April. Given the 10 hrs time zone difference, they were sympathetic with the jet lag and flew me there on Saturday for the Monday interviews. The interview day had five sessions:
 - one with the head of the team
 - one with guys from the team (codding session)
 - one with a guy from management
 - two more with guys from other departments (systems and networking)
With the exception of codding interview, where a second guy was there to observe, all other interviews were 1:1
I flew out on Tuesday, and on Thursday I received a call that they were happy with my performance and we can move forward.

Negotiation Details – The offer was a good one, but limited negotiation possibilities.
