Interviewed with Facebook
Recently I had an on-site interview with Facebook for the Enterprise engineer role. After few days recruiter reached out to me saying that the interview feedback was positive but they decided not to hire. Further he said that there's another position open in Oculus (infra engineer) and asked me if I'm interested in it. A few days later another recruiter reached out to me about the Oculus position and said that I need to go through the full interview loop again to be evaluated for that position (She specially stated that I have to code in C++ for those interviews). Is it common at Facebook? I mean what's wrong with the decision if the interview feedback was positive, why not hire me??
Because you are now interviewing for an entirely different position with different requirements. Any interview types that are the exact same arenโt duplicated, but any that Oculus has on their loop and not on the Enterprise Engineering loop would be required by their candidate review panel to have the signals they need to make a decision.
They have some headcount issues going on. Losers.
Interested in interviewing at Indeed in SF? I previously worked at Facebook as well. Can share lots of knowledge and happy to chat about Indeed engineering.
Lol, thatโs subtle, bro
Lol not trying to be
Was one of the recruiters named Ben?
Nope
The roles at Oculus are much more specialized than what we call "Genswe" or general software engineer.
Is Enterprise engineer role different than swe?
Yes, Enterprise engineers mostly work on tools internal to Fb (at least that's what I heard from the blind community)
Itโs a still a SWE right, so why the difference?
