A recruiter reached out via email. I had a call with the recruiter, and they explained the roles they were hiring for. We found several that interested me, and then we scheduled the first-round interview. I filled out information on Facebook's career website and did some practice problems.

Two weeks later, I had an interview with live coding via CoderPad. It felt like the interview went well, and I logged into the Facebook careers site afterwards to follow up with my interviewer.

A week went by with no response. I logged back into the Facebook careers site, and it still showed, "Your interview just concluded, and you will hear from our team soon."

I sent an email to my recruiter and received no response. I waited another week and sent another email. I waited one more week and sent a final email. A few weeks later, I reached out to a referral at the company, and he said he'd look into it. A few days later, my recruiter got back to me and said that they decided not to move forward.

I'm not sure what happened, but I feel extremely disrespected by this process. I can handle rejection, but being ghosted for almost a month and a half feels terrible.

Some technical question about a cipher.
