Should I interview at Facebook if I don't use Facebook much?

[baydude]

I have an account but haven't updated my status or posted any photos for over a year. Would I be a bad fit for the company's culture?

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Lie.

 

[Pardus]

During the interview, only answer there questions with emoji's.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I wonder if Facebook is one of those companies that require you give them your Facebook password, except, they probably don't actually need it.

I would apply and see what happens.

 

[jingramm]

Not being active for over one year isn't bad at all. I haven't been active for the past 5+ years and deactivated at the moment.

 

[baydude]

Lie.

According to Quota answers, all employees need a fb account and they all add each other to communicate and do work.

Make sure you give every answer as a thumbs up as there is no thumbs down option.

 

[XavierMace]

And make sure you tell TridenT every detail of your employment.

i think working at facebook would be really fun. they use a lot of cutting edge technology and fun web technologies. no idea what the company culture is like though. if they had locations in places i would like to live i'd try to work for them.

in my 11.5 career as a dev, none of my jobs have been at software companies that i've actually used the software prior. i don't think you not using facebook would matter one bit.

If I was hiring, I would want someone that knows our product. I'd probably ask how would you improve our website, mobile app, etc. I'm surprised that they'd interview people that didn't use their product.

My first question to said potential employee would be "We are a company that wants to know everything about everyone. What are you hiding? Oh, and be honest, because we probably already know. You know..algorithms and stuff."

you can do all of that in about 15 minutes during the interview. just bring it up on the computer or phone and go over it.

and depending on what position it's for, his opinion on what could improve may not even matter. a good dev studio will have UX people who take care of improving usability, not have developers design it.

I'd never apply because I think it's silly to update my status to tell you what I had for lunch or what music I'm listening to right now. You don't care, and it's none of your business

I have posted exactly one item to my timeline this year, this image: http://didactsreach.blogspot.com/2016/03/cthulhu-2016.html

Since I don't use Fb I'm not going to have much enthusiasm or experience for improving it.

The questions would be to learn if they know about the product and if they have an opinion. Great way to learn how they think, interest and knowledge of the company and product. Hopefully, they ask a lot of questions from them.

likely they will value ur perspective as a non-frequent user, to recruit more folx to join their site

pretty much all of those questions have absolutely nothing to do with actual facebook.

 

[Arcadio]

During the interview, only answer there questions with emoji's.

And with good grammar.

 

[rh71]

Lie.

Umm, wouldn't they be able to find out?

 

[us3rnotfound]

Don't worry if janitor.

 

[RossMAN]

If it doesn't work out with Zuck you do have other options

 

[Midwayman]

Depends. Do you have a healthy disrespect for other people's privacy?

 

[zinfamous]

At least you couldn't be fired for spending all day on Facebook when you should be working.
