I applied to Facebook a while ago, and someone from Facebook reached out to me some time later.

It wasn’t regarding the position I applied for; they had my information already in the system and reached out in case I was looking. It happened that I was actively interviewing with other companies as well.

The first conversation went great. We talked about my background, what the position entailed, and some technical questions.

At the end of our conversation, the person who interviewed me told me he would speak with his team and get back to me “tomorrow.”

In the meantime, I received an email to sign up on the Facebook recruiting website, was sent test prep materials, and was asked to pick my availability dates for future interviews.

The person who interviewed me didn’t get back to me the next day, week, or month. I received an email to provide my work authorization and nothing after that.

No email, no phone call, no note. The recruiting site still shows, “your conversation took place recently, you should hear from us shortly.”

It’s been 3 months, and I haven’t heard anything, not even a response to the follow-up email I sent.

It was the most unprofessional experience I’ve had. Every single company I interviewed with gave me an answer or some kind of follow-up.

Thankfully, it didn’t work out. I landed a position elsewhere with an amazing company.

Some basic Python and SQL questions. It was just an intro.
