Facebook Interview vs. Stay at Microsoft

Mar 30 5 Comments

I have an interview with Facebook coming up. I've gotten through the initial screen and now the all-day interview where hiring managers "pitch" you their team to see where your best fit is.

Is that how Facebook typically interviews? I don't understand why they'd do it this way unless they have a serious retention issue. I've heard many horror stories. Have any of you been through this at FB? Also, if I get an offer and don't accept, is it seen favorably or negatively if I try to move to Facebook in the future?

    Meta pays more (both in terms of stacking refreshers and promo velocity) Thatโ€™s for sure.

    For full time SWE, Meta does two coding, one SD and one behavior as @LoserNerd pointed out. If you are a pool hire, the pitching happens after you join company (team selection) and you get to choose whatever team.

    Ask recruiter the exact hiring process. Also ask "am I being pre-allocated" (means you don't get to choose the team).

      TPM. I'm being "pitched" the teams next week in an "all day virtual on-site". I've had preliminary calls with 3 hiring managers, informal and 1 45 minute interview who asked a mix of behavioral, PM and one theoretical software engineering question: how would you model xyz. Now 3 or 4 teams will pitch to me next week. I also find it different.

    What? No coding/system design/behaviour questions? This was not my experience. Are you an SWE?
