After Facebook onsite. Recruiter said let's talk on phone about 'feedback and next steps'. On phone she said "positive feedback but other candidate is better fit". And that FB will reach out soon for other roles and since I already did full day onsite , if next opportunity comes within 3-6 months I won't have to do full onsite loop again, just talk to key stakeholders for next role. Is there any hope or this is what they say to rejected candidates? This was for Engineering Manager role in AR/VR. My interview was good, I used FB car service for onsite and got a good campus tour during lunch. Yoe: 10 TC: 210
I have no experience with this but I do remember reading a comment on Blind that said if you pass the interview but they move on with another candidate then they will try to put you at another position. So basically you passed the interview and this is not something they say to rejected candidates
I was rejected for SWE but they called me for a PE (=SRE role) two months later. I think they mean what they say.
Good to know. This happened with you at Facebook or at another company?
Thank you for responses. During the same call, the recruiter also asked if I am open to roles in other teams (outside AR VR) and my location preference SF Bay Area vs Seattle. Let's see if I hear back from them anytime soon, as far as I am concerned I interviewed for a EM role and didn't get the offer. Any one else with similar feedback or experiences after FB Onsite?
I interviewed for a role in marketing and didnโt get it. Was told the other candidate was a slightly better fit, but I would be considered for a different role. Sure enough they called me about it and I only had to do one more interview before getting the job since I had done several rounds previously.
OP how did this turn out for you?
They never called back. I think it was all bs feedback, trying to soften the blow instead of saying you were rejected. As the main recruiter asked I emailed her few other open EM roles that were good fit for my profile but I never heard back.
Sorry to hear that. :/ Hope all is well for you!
