What are some IC6 roles and responsibilities expected from Day 1 when you join Facebook. I am also looking for what they look for in IC6 while interviewing. Thanks #facebook #ic6 #interview #meta
Depends on team, but in general, E6 you’re expected to influence/lead an org of 20-100 people and have impact that your director would include in their personal review. Most likely would need impact both from personal contribution and from influence. In smaller orgs it might be more similar to a tech lead manager role, but for a critical project which you’d build the hardest pieces of. E7 you’re usually talking about the larger org with say, 400 people
For interviews, focus will be on system design. Need solid coding too (similar to a new hire, they won’t be as strict on problem solving but will want better testing and readability etc). Behavioral round will want evidence that you can fulfill what I described in the other comment. Not necessarily that you’ve done it before, just that you could do it if needed.
Do you work at FB?
I’ve worked there and interviewed several E6s there a few years ago.
