"The energy was buzzing early Facebook. There were so many people just trying to build and ship cool stuff. It honestly almost felt like it was college."
"Within just five years, Formation had raised over $8.5 million in funding and was working with the likes of Netflix, Google, Twitch, Dropbox, Adobe to place thousands of workers into roles."
"That was the vibe of the company at the time. It was the first time I was able to ask him the million-dollar question: How's the social network going to make any money?"
Sophie Novati began her career as an engineering intern at Facebook during its dynamic early days. The environment was energetic, resembling a college atmosphere where employees worked hard and bonded. After leaving Facebook, she joined Nextdoor and later founded Formation, a job placement company that has raised over $8.5 million. Formation helps engineers enhance their job prospects through various services. Novati credits part of her success to a late-night chess lesson with Mark Zuckerberg, where she gained insights into Facebook's growth and monetization challenges.
