By "entry-level," I mean a first job for an individual. Do those companies often employee programmers with no previous job experience?


Of course. Microsoft and Google are likely the biggest recruiters for cs students.


Usually those CS students have had multiple internships and/or research experience, however.


College recruiting is pretty important for Facebook, Google and Microsoft at least. In programming world "previous job experience" is a bit vague, as contributing to an open source project or building some non-trivial Web/iOS/Android apps is not "job experience" in classical sense, but adds significant bonus points to one's resume.


At any rate, those are "lowest-level" SDE jobs available at such companies. They hire _many_ recent grads with nothing but a few internships worth of experience too.
