Process
The recruiter reached out to me for an interview.
They scheduled the initial screening round. The interviewer arrived late.
He then asked me a very easy question, similar to a palindrome.
I provided at least three different approaches to solve the question, considering different time and space complexities.
I also identified all the edge cases.
After the interview, I asked for feedback. He stated that he would relay it to the recruiter, who would then contact me.
The recruiter never reached out, and I had to follow up.
She then informed me that, "due to a high number of candidates applying for the position, they have decided to move forward with other candidates."
Additionally, she mentioned that she couldn't share any feedback.
This was one of the worst interview experiences of my life. I will never accept an interview from them again!

Great open culture where you can question anything and anyone. You are encouraged to take risks in order to achieve something bigger. Great place for mentorship. The bootcamp is an amazing way to understand company culture, build relationships, and get exposure to various technologies. Beyond that, there are tons of individuals that you just need to ask, and they will help you in every way possible. Facebook has some of the friendliest individuals that I have ever worked with. Great perks! Food, amenities, health, dental, gym, and the list goes on and on. Believes in compensating you what you are worth instead of trying to lowball and counteroffer once you have a competing offer. You are truly working on things that are making a difference in people's lives.Cons: If you really want to set yourself apart, know that you are probably working with some of the brightest in the industry. You better be on top of your game.
