I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. We scheduled a phone interview.

The phone interviewer asked me about my background and then a coding question. He let me know that I did well at the end of the interview.

The next day, I got a call from the recruiter, who told me that they would like me to come onsite. I was also forwarded to another recruiter. Both recruiters were helpful along the way.

I had two coding rounds, two design rounds, and one behavioral round onsite. I may have made a couple of mistakes in the behavioral round, and some mistakes in other rounds. I was not very confident of getting through, but thought there might be a slim chance.

I did not hear back from the recruiter for seven days, so I followed up. The recruiter mentioned she would get back to me as soon as she had an update. Three days later, I received a reject email.

Overall, I liked the interview process, and everyone was great. I would have appreciated a call, just as a courtesy.

The lack of courtesy seemed to indicate that the recruiter was not as enthusiastic after the on-site interview compared to before. It is understandable, though, as she was thoroughly professional whenever I worked with her.

One more thing: if Facebook has such a high rejection rate, it would be better to have a phone screen plus a video call screen before bringing candidates in. This would save them some money and save me time.

Non-disclosure agreement, and I respect it.
