Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Menlo Park, CA Nov 2012 – Reviewed Feb 15, 2013
Interview Details –
I met the recruiter in an event hosted by the university, and then send her my application. In one week, they schedule an interview for me.
It was 1-1 phone interview, purely technical. The interviewer asked me some small algorithm problems, and then asked me to write code. Sometimes they will ask you to optimize your first solution and, also, write the optimized code. They are very friendly, it's ok to ask for some hints and fix some minor bugs in code.
I had two phases of interviews, same style, and then got the offer.
Interview Question – I cannot disclose it due to the confidential policy. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – After you passed the interview, Facebook puts you in a candidates pool, and before the check-in date (May or June), there will be a team matching phase.
Other Details - I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks.
