Get that job at FacebookInterviewing for a technical job is hard,Want to get an engineering job at the most popular social network? Articles and so is being the interviewer. You want to get that engineering job at Facebook, and we want to hire the best people (you!). Knowing what to expect on both sides can go a long way toward making the process work better. Preparation is important. Hiring, here and across the industry, is like shooting a few protons into the very large space of your life experience, hoping to get enough information back to say that yes, this specimen is definitely made of elemental awesomium. We're trying to build a picture of your abilities as a professional and a colleague from a handful of data points. How we do itEvery role is different and we are always tweaking things, so don't freak out if your experience is different from what's laid out here. Typically it will start with an email or a phone call from a recruiter. Perhaps they found you online, or you applied directly, or a friend recommended you.  We also have an intern program, where we invite talented students to work with us for a few months.
