Process
I had a screening call and was subsequently ghosted. The conversation went well.
The company's career page still lists the role as active, but it has been three months since the screening call. I'm not sure what happened.
I tried reaching out to the recruiter, but I received no response.

Great summer experience. Probably won't be coming back

Pros: Great pay, even by Silicon Valley standards. As a lover of systems, it was amazing to work with the behemoth that is Facebook's data pipelines.
Cons: They put us in Redwood City (some were in Menlo Park, I believe), which somehow resulted in a 1-hour commute on a swaying bus. Parking was limited, and it was a bit too far to bike.
