Facebook Intern Reviews

"Great as a software internship"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Facebook for less than a year
Pros
Well established procedure for code review mean that you'll learn how to write quality code very fast. They've dealt with the problems of scale really well and everything is streamlined in a very intelligent way. Loads of free food. Projects vary by team and manager but I had an interesting one that I think was quite a bit more than just an "intern project". Hours were flexible.
Cons
None that come to mind honestly. There's definitely a lot of variability based on which team that you're on, and I know I had one of the best experiences of the people I talked to, but most people were overall happy. I've heard that the requirements for getting a return fulltime offer can be really intense, but I was still an underclassman and was only interested in a return internship offer.

Pros
Really great benefits and smart people around you all the time. Lots of ways to learn about different parts of the company and opportunities to travel.
Cons
Hard to feel like you are making an impact because it is so large. Sometimes feels very performance-obsessed.

"Research Intern at Facebook AI Research"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Facebook for less than a year
Pros
Super good research atmosphere and so many celebrity around. Every intern is working super hard to ensure a top-tier paper submission.
Cons
There is NO return full-time offer at FAIR, which is really bad compared with the other FB teams. If you were a fourth-year PhD, you may want to consider if you are willing to take the risk of interviewing tech companies after going over coding problems and meantime you are doing paper submission for FAIR. As papers become "sort of" useless when interviewing non-pure-research full-time jobs.

Pros
Facebook allows you the freedom to do your job without an incredibly amount of babysitting
Cons
Despite conventional wisdom, people take themselves pretty seriously. Engineers think they are better than other people. Not the friendliest environment.
