But as with all jobs, there are definitely limited spots and once they're filled up there isn't a need to hire anymore. Are intern applications (and hence, the spots) based on first-come-first-served? One exception to this is if you're applying for a Front End Engineer or Mobile Engineer position, then you will be asked domain-specific questions and by extension, required to use JavaScript/Java/Kotlin/Objective-C/Swift to answer the questions. You can do your interviews in your programming language of choice. Likewise, there aren't any of such restrictions for SWE interviews.

Competition is tough! Are there any languages/frameworks that are helpful to know before applying? įor Software Engineering (SWE) positions, Facebook doesn't require you to have experience in specific languages/frameworks before joining. A fair amount of students have both good grades AND non-academic achievements. Note that CS is such a hot course now that only the best students can get in these days. But if you suck at studies and spent your time clubbing instead, then I'm sorry you probably won't get past the screening. If it was spent on related stuff like hacking on side projects and internships, that probably makes up for the subpar academic grades. Usually people suck at their studies because instead of studying they spent their time elsewhere. Is the resume screening done by AI / human recruiter? What is being looked out for on the resume? As someone who isn't strong academically, will I be able to compete purely based on experience on my resume? For students, because there's a lack of working experience, grades might play a larger part in the resume screening, but it's by no means the only thing that matters. Grades matter less the longer someone has left school. In general, how's the barrier of entry for big tech companies like FB in terms of grades, would a second lower (3.5-3.9) even get pass the resume screening stage? Not that one candidate is stronger than the other, but the former would probably be a safer choice. Personally if I had my own company, I would rather hire a candidate with a high second upper and fantastic open source portfolio with multiple internship experiences at big companies over a student with CAP 5.00 but has nothing else to show for. As mentioned above, there are many other qualities and achievements a candidate can possess. GPA/CAP/grades is just one of the signals that can be extracted from the resume. Does GPA affect a lot on the resume screening? One thing is for sure - few companies would want to hire candidates who only have academic credentials and no industry experience. Won hackathons/competitions? Put them in. Built cool hacks/side projects? Add the GitHub links and demos. Have extensive internship experience? Include them in an organized format. But from experience, write stuff that makes you stand out from the rest. IANAR and I don't filter any resumes, so I don't exactly know. What are some qualities/experiences that Facebook looks for in a resume? If it goes well, there will be two rounds of coding interviews. Recruiters will reach out to you if there's interest and chat with you over the phone.
Most of these answers apply across the board but there are exceptions for certain specialized, non-SWE roles.Īpplication/Referral What's the application process like (for internships)? Īpply on.They may or may not apply to other smaller companies. These replies are tailored towards the Facebook interview process for interns and fresh grads.CVWO - Computing for Voluntary Welfare Organizations.Opinions expressed are my own and do not represent the views of my employer. I am not a recruiter and I might have answered some of the recruiting or internship-related questions wrongly, so take them with a grain of salt. I decided to write down my answers in the form of a blog post so they can be shared more broadly and I can point people to this blog post in future whenever I get asked similar questions.
A number of students from the Project Intern group have been asking me questions related to Facebook internships, working at Facebook, and my personal journey.
