A recruiter found me on LinkedIn and asked me for my CV and my availability to talk the next week. I asked what would be covered in this first phone call, and he said he would only discuss the roles he recruits for.

He was nice and welcoming, but he surprised me with a few (basic) technical questions I was not expecting, given the previous information he provided about this call.

I received instant feedback about the phone screen and moved to the next step, the coding interview.

Once again, the recruiter was attentive and helpful. The coding questions were average in difficulty, but appropriate to the time window we had (about 20 minutes each).

At the end, the recruiter was open to questions about Facebook, his team, work-life balance, meeting schedules, and about the city he lives in.

It then took ten days to receive vague feedback from Facebook stating that we were not going to move forward, despite my 'strong coding and communication skills'. I was a bit disappointed by the delay and the lack of details in the last response I received from them.
