Facebook vs Google for new grad
Asking for a friend. Which company is better for fresh grads interested in functional programming, large scale back end infra and potentially machine learning? Any other qualities of the companies that makes them more suitable for fresh grads?
Think as an investor.. FB is a fad .. near its demise ..no follow through product.. WhatsApp has international presence but tough to make money.. I think best is over for FB..entropy is taking over
I think this is a stupid question. You can’t just judge based on the company. See the job description of the work you do and whether it’s relevant for long term.
Facebook for faster promos
If those are your interest then Google.
If they're interested in functional programming there are a notable amount of projects at FB that leverage OCaml and Haskell, fwiw. Reason is a language built in Ocaml at FB and their spam detection system uses Haxl, which is built on top of Haskell to make quick changes to defend against new types of spam they notice on the platform. No such projects at Google that I know of. ML and back end infra are big priorities at both to the point where it likely doesn't matter which one you go to.
Google first, then go FB for pay increase, then back to Google to retire.
FB will grow you faster to E5. you’ll also get more team options that may map to your skills.
If you think you'll have basically any say on what you work on at Google I pity you.
Google. Facebook is morally bankrupt
Why do you say that?
Because he didn’t make it through resume screening :(
