Hands down the best recruiting process I have seen so far. All my recruiters were super kind, thorough and prompt! And man, the kind of prep material they provide!! It is so thorough and helpful! Some companies don’t tell you anything about the interview structure, type (let alone topics to prepare) which is super crappy and very unrealistic IMO. But with FB there were no surprises. It’s like they really want you to succeed. Some of my friends even had recruiters arranging prep calls with them! Even during negotiations my recruiter behaved more like my friend and tried to understand my situation to offer the best they could do. I did not feel like I had to push or convince her for a higher number because she was already on my side. This is one of the most pleasant interviewing experiences I have had and I must say I’m impressed!!! So thank you, Facebook!


Edit 1 - I also liked the fact that the questions were so practical and role related. Not some theoretical crap out of a textbook. Everything I was asked was translated into FB cases. Interviewers too seemed super nice, kind and smart!

Edit 2 - appreciate any insight from FB recruiters or employees on my other post here (need urgent help deciding my start date) Check out this post! "Deciding facebook start date (Tech Industry)"

  • The Facebook recruiter that I dealt with was the standout recruiter of my 20 year software career.

    Same experience. Super polite, helpful and straight to the point. She told me that the numbers she going to give me at first would be the best possible and that actually happened. I didn't feel like to negotiate even once. By the way, your recruiter name starts with P and based out if Singapore? Wanted to check if she is the outlier or if majority of fb recruiter are awesome.

  • Totally agree - my recruiters were polite, professional, responsive and, most importantly, effective. I felt like I was working in partnership with them.

    I wasn’t serious about joining Facebook initially, but after talking with the recruiting team and interviewers, they had me sold. Their genuine interest in me as a person, understanding of the unique skills I can add to the group, and sense of community still haven’t faltered now that I’m in my 4th year. It’s one of the best career moves I’ve made. For context, my previous employers included Google, Amazon and Apple.

    they are the best BY FAR. everyone else pales in comparison. I just couldn’t believe how good they were. I was originally going to use FB as a competing offer to land at Apple but I ended up doing the opposite, because the FB recruiters were so incredibly kind and helpful, they gave me a glimpse of what it’s like to be respected as a human. I’m joining next month, can’t wait!
