I know that Google often lowballs nowadays unless you can show a competing offer, preferably from another FAANG. I am in the middle of interviews at Google and a recruiter from Facebook reached out. Trying to decide if I should try and get an offer from them for leverage. Does anyone know whether Facebook will send over the offer in email form before I verbally accept? I know some companies refuse to put anything in writing unless you verbally accept.

When I got my offer from FB it was all verbal and they only printed the offer letter after I accepted. Not sure if that was the case for everyone but hoping this data point helps you

Thanks for the insight Facebook 1!

I'm interviewing with fb now and was told no formal offer letter without verbal acceptance, but they'd put "the key offer details" in writing via email.

I think most companies extend the offer letter if you’re seriously interested. It doesn’t mean you commit to it. But most of the general terms tend to be hashed out over the phone.
