A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn.
We set up a ~15-minute call with the recruiter a few days later.
During the call, the recruiter asked me about my current job and projects. Everything went well, and I was set up for a technical phone screening with one of their engineers.
We scheduled the phone screening for two weeks later.
Two weeks later, a Facebook engineer called me and asked about my current project, then jumped straight into the coding challenge. (See below to read about the challenge).
I became nervous and did not complete the challenge.
At the end, I got to ask the engineer a few questions about Facebook.
Two days later, I received a polite rejection email from the recruiter.
