Company name helps you get interviews, the rest is up to you. I got interview calls within 2-3 days of applying at every company I applied to, and I’m assuming it was mostly because of FB.
If you can survive at FB then that sends a signal to the employer that you can do the job and it’s worth bringing you for interview. Tbh, there is a shortage of engineers in the industry so it doesn’t make a big difference.
I skipped screen interview at G because I’m at FB for awhile… also the amount of recruiters reaching out to me is way larger than friends who work in smaller startups with the rest being the same background… so I would say yes… By skipping screen I have one less thing that I can fuckup in the interview process and already having the contact with the recruiters from the companies that I want to go makes it less likely that my resume will be ignored… But in the end is your skill that get you the job, I don’t believe that people would make an offer just because I work at FB but did a shitty interview…
