I had a single phone interview, which was a poor experience. First, the interviewer didn't seem to care about what I did in my job. This should be the most important question for experienced people, but they didn't even look at my resume. The questions were along the same lines as other interviews. The interviewer basically had five questions prepared before I even started. I tried to solve them as quickly as possible but was only able to complete three because of the detailed explanations I gave (probably a mistake on my part). After I solved the third question (they didn't even ask for algorithms for coding questions four and five), they pasted the five SQL questions. I managed to complete the five SQL questions, though. The interviewer was quiet during the whole interview. I later got a rejection. I think the expectation is to cram the solutions beforehand and just write solutions even before reading the problem, or your typing speed should be high. Being an interviewer myself, I feel the way some interviews are conducted is not good. Time shouldn't be such a factor. The assumption that if you code a problem in 15 minutes and another person takes 20 minutes, the person taking 15 minutes would code/work more in a day is as good an assumption as saying a 200m distance runner would beat a marathon runner in a marathon race. I hope my fellow interviewers understand this sometime in the future, at least.

This was my second bad interview experience with Facebook, and to top it all off, I heard I can't interview for one year. I love the company but think I have to re-evaluate if I want to ever experience their interview process again.

The recruiters were nice during the short process, and I would like to thank them.

Same as others mentioned around here, but
