Does minimum YOE actually matter on job posts
I was reached out by a recruiter. Had one phone interview and was called onsite. Surprisingly they only had 4 rounds that day(2 coding, 1 design and 1 career). They called me back for an additional round of coding with feedback that I was erasing stuff on the whiteboard too frequently. This time I thought I did quite well. However, I could only do one question in around half hour. We spent the remaining 10 minutes meaningfully improving the solution. Ultimately its a no go and since I have no other feedback forthcoming I am left to wonder if it was not doing 2 problems or something in the prior 4 rounds. Mostly I am just disheartened and looking for something to take away from the experience.
Suck it up and move on
I know man. Can't sulk forever.
Facebook likes coding speed and correctness first time. Maybe you were too slow, or made errors and fixed later, which also causes you to be too slow
I did that on the first onsite and I was glad to get feedback and another opportunity. The second time I was extra careful. May be that slowed me down.
How long you had to wait for this onsite after first one?
Dont work there. People die there
Seriously? This from someone at Amazon.
damn dude it was freaky. I met my friend for lunch after the second onsite and this guy jumped off that very same building two days later. Sad for him.
4 rounds interview is standard for all candidates <=E6. Extra interview if feedback is mixed and we need more signal.
Yup the recruiter used those same words. So that means the last interviewer must have given a strong no. That's was I find the hardest to believe.
Not necessary strong no. Just no would be enough.
There are many big fish out there. I was rejected too last month. Show must go on and move on. Side note last week got rejected by Google too. And one thing I liked about Google recruiter is they at least showed courtesy to call and tell I was not selected. Will be flying soon to Cali for Netflix. Honestly no hope but good thing is I am easily clearing all phone screens.
Good luck
Way to go! My track record with phone screens has also improved a lot over time its been a perfect 2019 so far.
FB is a super stressful place to work anyway, I think you dodged a bullet.
How is Uber now? My onsite was cancelled due to hiring freeze? Is it lifted and should I contact back to recruiter?
The freeze is ljfted
I heard you need to finish 2 or 3 coding questions in each interview. Otherwise it’s an automatic fail.
Do you go straight to the optimal solution? Or do brute force first then improve to optimal
If you know the optimal you go straight for it. Otherwise they think you are dumb🙄
Questions asked were LC Medium or hard ?
Medium

Take birth as a Chinese and try again
Is FB dominated by Chinese? I always thought it is Chinese/Indian/other 1:1:1
Lol
