Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter set up a short chat and asked some behavioral questions, and bad things happened. She asked me some cliché questions like "Why Facebook?" I gave my answer by talking about the technology Facebook uses, which she didn't understand. I guess she expected me to be a fan of social networks, but my topic is always technology. Finally, she asked if I was talking with other companies. I gave her the name of a company, but she had never heard of it. Hey, that's a mid-size company in the Bay Area that just IPO'd two years ago! She just couldn't understand what I was talking about on the phone call, not even one thing. I got a rejection a few days later.
