Facebook Inc., preparing for a potential initial public offering, plans to hire thousands of employees in the next year and add an engineering office in New York to lure technical talent.
The world’s largest social-networking company, with about 3,000 workers and more than 800 million users, will open the Facebook NYC engineering office in early 2012, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said at an event yesterday in the city. She gave no firm target for the engineering team in New York, the first outside the West Coast.
