I received a call from a Facebook recruiter who found me through LinkedIn.

The first screening round was very easy and simple. I correctly answered all the questions the recruiter asked.

They moved me to the second round. The interviewer was 10 minutes late.

She started asking basic SQL and Python questions. I answered 6 out of 6 questions within 45 minutes.

However, they rejected me with different excuses.

Following are the different excuses:

• You did not solve 10 questions. (I solved 6 questions in 40 minutes, but they expected 10 questions in 60 minutes from me. They were expecting me to solve 10 questions in 40 minutes).
• The recruiter did not mention that we have a 10-question selection criteria benchmarking.
• You were very slow in SQL. (However, I had solved all questions in the given slot).
• This is your first Facebook interview, so it happens. You will do better in your next interview.

Facebook doesn't have a standard interview process. An interviewer can be immature and not know how to judge.

They simply rejected me.
