Cristina, our fabulous Twitter Administrator had the chance to check out the 10th Seattle Girl Geek Dinner. She was kind enough to provide the following review:

Seattle Girl Geek Dinner #10 at Facebook Seattle was fantastic.

When I first arrived, I was greeted by the warm welcoming Facebook Seattle staff. After getting my name tag, I proceeded to find a good seat, and saved one for a friend in the second row. The food and drink accommodations were served buffet-style and was quite popular amongst all the geek gals. I enjoyed a refreshing beer while it was announced they would begin the Q&A with four Facebook women engineers at 8pm.

During the Q&A, we learned about the rigorous interview process that consisted of about 6 interviews in total. If you’re hired by Facebook, you then go through a 6-week boot camp. There you learn about the best practices of Facebook and receive an overview of what people are working on. The highlight of this boot camp at the very end is that you get to choose which team you want to work with. What’s also great about working for Facebook that you can make your own hours. You also have parental leave for 4 months if you have/adopt a child.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at the Seattle Girl Geek Dinner #10 and really enjoyed getting to know more about Facebook Seattle and the 4 women engineers on the panel.

Everyone was really friendly and approachable.
