I interviewed 2 years ago at MP and I felt like I had stepped onto a college campus. Recruiter and people I interviewed kept trying to sell me on the perks like free food including dinners etc. which for someone with family is not some amazing thing since I'd rather be home with them. Is there anyone who works at FB who is mid-30s or older? How is it working there and being the old guy/gal?
Yes. It definitely skews younger, but it doesn't play a factor in my day to day work. I'm early 30s and constantly work with early-to-mid 20s to 40s.
Not so much day to day but seems the whole recruiting and perks are designed for single young people. Priorities change as you get older.
No one is forcing you to use the perks though. In general product teams are younger and infra teams are older.
Just want to point out that Asian people tend to look younger than their age. They may be 60 years old but still look like teenagers.
Lol
Average age in Infra is definitely mid 30s, product groups feel younger.
Always wondered why this is the case? Is it because infra teams are higher levels in average = older people? Or that people 10-15 years back did more infra and less product work so that has continued?
I'm 33 and in a product team. Oldest IC on the team. Most others are in their 20s.
Older workers should be 50+? Age should not matter but it would be foolish to assume that it doesnβt.
I interviewed at MP as well. Demographic seemed similar to college campus as well. I agree.
What is the average age at FB? That information should be available.
My team has a good mix of all ages. Mid-40s myself and not the oldest. All is well.
