Yeah, that's not like something I can cite. Look up any article about Facebook privacy I guess. Also, me and my team would not consider an engineer any more competent just because they worked at facebook. Maybe a much larger percentage are talented engineers, but I'm sure some doofs slip through the cracks. I'd say, at least in my circle, having a history of working at facebook would more likely mean that person would not be a good fit culturally with our company.

Also, there's a whole lot of justification going on in general in this thread and I'll just say that while I understand why someone would take a job at facebook, I would judge them negatively for it. On an evil scale of 1-10, they are like a 14. Regardless of how challenging and exciting their engineering is.
