Thanks for sharing these. It is still surprising to see only ~250 employees out of ~45,000 signing the letter about politicians to posting advertisements on the platform that include false claims. My original questions still stand for the remaining 44,500+ employees
That is the purpose of this question. Google engineers are frequently in the news for protesting company policies, which results in actual company changes, but there is never anything from Facebook. I am trying to get a broad sample of thoughts on current and former Facebook employees so I can understand if it is due to company culture, the hiring process selects for likeminded people, or if there are disagreements but no one airs their dirty laundry.

Reading a lot of books about obscure areas of CS is great and all, but real skill (applied programming) comes down to practice. Pick challenging projects that force you to learn about new topics (i.e. low level networking, graphics, UI, REST API's, etc...). Make sure you take the time to write large (relatively) programs in different types of languages (object oriented, functional, etc...).
I always found the best way to learn and RETAIN the knowledge is to utilize it while reading some new topic. For me I purchase books on Amazon, watch Coursera and iTunesU courses, and then created a few applications or open source libraries based on this information.
Senior Software Engineer - Big Data & Machine Learning
Seer organizes your information so it is available when you need it most. We believe important things get lost in our email, on our devices, and across multiple cloud-apps, and this makes working and being organized harder than it should be.
Seer is building the new way to work--a web-application that brings email, desktop, and cloud-apps into one place that applies algorithms to organize people's data automatically and displays in an easy to use interface accessible from their browser, smartphone, or desktop.
This requires overcoming significant technical challenges, and we are seeking other engineers unfazed by difficult technical problems.
We are a small, early stage start-up that moves quickly. We were joined forces in October, funded by DreamIt Ventures, a top ranked national accelerator in November, built our MVP in 60 days, and demonstrated it at SxSw in March.
Our next move is recruit a team dedicated to making Seer a success, launch our web-app publicly this summer, and win the Evernote Developers challenge in September.
We are looking for someone to excited to turn data into understandable insights, and we think should have the skills below.
Required Skills:
• Functional Programming (Scala, Clojure, Haskell, Erlang, etc..)
• Rest API's (to get data from the DB)
• Unit Testing
Desire to Learn (if you don't already have experience in them):
• Scala (our primary language)
• Data mining (we have several GB of metadata per user)
• Natural Language Processing (deep processing of emails and documents)
• Machine Learning (pioneer innovative ways to correlate user data)
• NoSQL (Cassandra, Neo4j, etc…)
Relevant Tools:
• Git
• SBT
• Amazon Web Services
• An IDE/text editor of your choice
