Product Designer Interview Question:

Tell us how do you decide who works on what?

Submitted by: Muhammad

I like to think that we're very thoughtful about who joins what team. It's not an exact science, but there are some clear facets.
Our group of Facebook products-and Facebook itself-span a lot of territory from consumer products to business tools, from complex systems to independent experiences. We have products and projects that rely heavily on strategy and product thinking, and we also have those that have bigger needs in interaction and visual design. The recruiting and interview process helps determine what products might be a good match for each new designer. At times we'll hire people who are strong in a very specific area because we already have an open role in mind for them.
