Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California

June 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I received a letter from the recruiter a few days after I applied. Two days later, there was a phone interview.

The recruiter showed no interest and asked me to wait until she read my resume. She asked me just one question: "Tell me about yourself." After that, I received a verbal refusal.

There were no technical questions, nor was I asked about my interests. "Unfortunately, we are now looking for people with 3-4 years of work experience."

A few days later, I received a letter of refusal. I did not expect such unprofessional behavior from Facebook.
