"People want to have an impact," Goler told Business Insider. "They want to know that what they're working on matters. And they're going to stay at a place where they feel like they have an impact, [where] they're learning and growing and doing work they love."
Kalinowski also noted three characteristics the company is searching for in potential employees: They want people who like to build things, from diverse backgrounds, with talent and the ability to fit into Facebook's culture.
