名企面面观：破解Facebook招聘文化(双语）

For engineers hoping to land a job at Facebook, here's the good news: Facebook is not Google. You don't need a computer science degree from Stanford or Carnegie Mellon. You don't need a Ph.D. You don't need a quasi-perfect GPA, and you may not have to chase copies of your SAT transcript. After all, Facebook was started by a college dropout with a passion for hacking, not by a pair of doctoral students working on the seemingly intractable problem of finding relevance in a sea of Web pages.

Facebook的面试不同于谷歌（Google）面试，这一点对希望进入Facebook工作的工程师们来说是一大福音。Facebook无需应聘者拥有斯坦福大学（Stanford）或卡内基梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon）的计算机科学学位；或者拥有博士学位以及近乎完美的平均分；或许连学术能力评估考试（SAT）成绩单的复印件也不需要。毕竟，Facebook是由大学中途辍学、热衷黑客精神的学生、而不是致力于研究海量网页相关性等看似复杂难题的博士生们创办的。

Now here is the bad news: none of that means joining Facebook's engineering ranks is easy.

现在有个坏消息：不需要上述各种资历证明，并不是说就可以轻松获得Facebook的工程师职位。

As the company has grown, and Mark Zuckerberg has moved from coder to curator, he has needed a never-ending supply of engineers who are not only smart programmers but also embrace Facebook's hacker ethos. "I'd rather have the top student out of U.T. or University of Central Florida than the 30th best from Stanford," says Jocelyn Goldfein, an engineering director. Many have come through the company's vast recruiting operation, which has reached well beyond the top schools. To reach students in schools where it cannot send interviewers, Facebook has set up online programming puzzles that students can try to solve in hopes of getting noticed.
