I tried to find info regarding wait-list process online but there wasn't much info.

People who got verbal offer from Facebook but were put on wait-list due to hiring freeze for E4, how and when would they get their offer letter?
The people who apply for E4 this year, would they be given preference over E4 candidates in wait-list in terms of hiring or will the wait-listed candidates will be given offer letters first & than based on the quota new applicants will be given interviews and eventually job offers?

Can someone from Facebook or someone with similar experience share some details. Much appreciated.

    People on wait-list should move on. This does mean you were on the border. People who excelled got offers

    I’m going to say something really weird but my team never stopped hiring E4.

      Oculus related. We don’t down-level, no team does - people always believe they should get in at a higher level. We hire people we need at the correct level. In our team, most people enter at E4.

    I was on ‘waitlist’ pre-covid 2 years ago. Got verbal offer in July, actual offer in December. Started in January.
    Main reason was to do with head count reset. Not sure if it’s a similar thing now or if it is actually related to hiring ‘slow down’. Afaik we picked the pace back up around august.

    Keep following up with your recruiter every month. London E4 headcount was and is much tighter than US. Also, keep trying at other places and if you get a better or similar opportunity somewhere else, go for it.
