Yes after I sent my last post I went back through the alumni directory to see if there were any people with no prior software engineering experience who are currently at Facebook and most appear to have done a year somewhere else before transitioning. I do see people secure jobs

I found two people that got into Google from Codesmith without experience listed on LinkedIn so it might be possible there too!

One lists their open source projects as work experience and the other doesn't. Not sure what their resumes looked like pre-Google though.
