You are basically telling him not to apply to any large tech company. how is FB any more unethical than any other large tech company?

Straight up facts: FB drives social isolation, depression and anxiety. The core product is like nicotine, addictive and not good for your health. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/03/06/518362255/feeling-lonely-too-much-time-on-social-media-may-be-why Users personal data is leaked and shared widely, CEO sets the tone calling users who share data “dumb f*cks”. https://adage.com/article/opinion/zuckerberg-dumb-fucks-opening-window-new-ad-models-privacy/312832 Data leaks of over 500M users personal data. One example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/millions-facebook-user-records-exposed-amazon-cloud-server/ FB prioritizing paid political ads that are flat out lies as they drive engagement. Zuck doesn’t care if it undermines democracy worldwide. Twitter, MS, LinkedIn and mostly Google don’t run paid lies. https://dnyuz.com/2019/11/04/facebook-isnt-just-allowing-lies-its-prioritizing-them/

Shouldn’t the recruiter have given you a roadmap for what will happen? They did for me.

This is on point. Is this for analytics? I thought FB is on a hiring freeze for analytics positions.

Don’t worry, recruiter call is all about letting you know about the position, process etc

Crazy how facebookers flagged my first comment in the thread encouraging op to withdraw his/her application. Then they preach "be open", "be bold". Come on...

I don’t know if this is a secret but Chinese forums have a lot of questions posted.
