Mike Schroepfer, Facebook VP Engineering talk at Science Gallery

In November 2010, Science Gallery hosted Facebook's Vice President of Engineering, Mike Schroepfer for a discussion about Facebook's "Culture of Innovation."

Innovation is an elusive promise. It's hard to achieve and even harder to sustain, especially as companies grow and expand. Facebook has grown to become a global service used by over 500 million people. Yet the company has stayed true to its start-up ethos, allowing the company to innovate faster even as its gotten bigger. In this talk, Mike Schroepfer shares the company's innovation story.
