Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I had a very bad interview experience with Facebook Seattle recently.
Two days after the interview, they called me and asked for references. They told me they would provide feedback the next day.
However, after five days, they informed me I did not have an offer. They mentioned I could apply again in three months because there were some issues with my code. They also stated that although I answered all questions correctly during the design interview, I did not "push through it."
