It's Facebook. You already know they use hundreds of sources of information to track and categorise people. Zuckerberg and CNBC just mentioned two.

That said, I expect you can fool Facebook for a while with high probability. You might need to commit fraud and/or tax evasion to do so, so that raises the bar.

Question: can you even work at Facebook without having an account and using it?

The biggest risk of leak would be during usage of their services like their app and/or website on personal devices. If you can work there while only using their issued work laptop it would be pretty easy to contain by sticking it behind a VPN router.

To be fair I once interviewed at Facebook and to my surprise the CV the recruiter pulled was one I’d applied with three years ago, so the system isn’t all that foolproof.

Yes but on the other hand this anecdote highlights their talent for maintaining a dossier of your personal information spanning not only many types of sources but also many years.. :) / :(
