Just got contacted by my recruiter that Facebook is freezing all mid level (E4) hiring across US and cancelled my onsite interview. Anyone else got the same news?

  • I work in engineering recruiting for Facebook and confirm we are pausing all E4 hiring. We have hit our target goal for E4's (not surprised given the influx of applicants). Anybody who has an E4 offer we will honor those of course but we can't bring in any new E4's into the process. If you are downleveld in the interview process from E5 to E4 we won't be able to proceed after this Friday.

    We will probably start recruiting E4's again next half.

    • I dont have any experience with h1b and his that's handled...

      The offer won't get rescinded just due to a delay though

    Yes, my E4 offer is being temporarily closed and will be revived later. I turned down FB recently to join Snap.

    Anyone knows the reason? Werenโ€™t they planning to hire a lot of people this year pre-covid? Might this also affect E5+ hiring soon? Or on the contrary since they need to fill the quotas they will double down on senior roles?

    What if someone finished onsite interview and is waiting for result, in vain?
