Facebook Hiring Process Sucks
- MenaMena123 15y agoIn all honesty that was just my experience, I'm sorry for saying exactly how it went. Sorry Facebook lovers and please don't take everything so seriously. :)
- kevinherron 15y agoYikes. Hope he interviews better than he writes.
- joebadmo 15y agoI find it weird that someone who cares enough about communicating with people that he would build a web site for it would care so little about the actual writing he produces.
- MenaMena123 15y agoGet over it lol, its a blog not a research paper being published.
- jeffreymcmanus 15y agoThat was my first impression too. Facebook's process may very well suck, but it's likely that the real reason why this person didn't get the job was poor communication skills. Protip: a female over the age of 18 is generally referred to as a "woman," not a "girl," particularly when that person works in the part of the company that is responsible for enforcing rules about workplace sexism.
- MenaMena123 15y agoReally?? Who cares. Come on webster :)
- rick888 15y agoReally? "Girl" is considered sexist these days?
- jeffreymcmanus 15y agoPut it this way: if you're male, would you be OK with someone in a professional context calling you "boy"?
- rick888 15y ago"Boy", no. "Guy", yes. I guess I should be calling them "gals", instead. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't have the same connotation. "Girl" is not sexist and I'm going to continue to use it, even in a professional setting.
- jeffreymcmanus 15y agoEnjoy your limited career, then.
- MenaMena123 15y agoIts called a blog, not a research paper. 2011 :)
- oniTony 15y agoI had a very different experience. HR person was in Palo Alto, and went out of his way to set himself up with Skype (as I have no actual phone number) to talk with me at my choice of times. Overall I was pleased with their HR, although it was odd that there was only one SDE phone interview (as oppose to typical pair of phone interviews that Amazon and Google has).
- kposehn 15y agoI had a great experience with the Austin team - very nice people, prompt and reliable. A sample size of one does not indicate an overall rule; that said, anyone else had a good/bad experience with them?
- jacques_chester 15y ago> A sample size of one does not indicate an overall rule It is, however, good enough to be upvoted on HN.
- kickme444 15y agoSounds like you only got into the 1st step of the interview process, not sure it's very responsible to deem their process as sucking when you haven't actually been through it. Also, the next person who thinks about interviewing you is going to find this post, see that you write as though you were posting to your facebook wall (with all the lols) and never even give you a phone interview.
- MenaMena123 15y agoooo im so scared please dont see my posts, come on who cares, speak your mind and forget about the corporate junk.
