Meta neutral feedback
Got off a call with meta recruiter to discuss a rejection and got the following feedback: 1) coding: 1 hire, 1 no hire 2) product arch: “neutral” 3) behavioral: “neutral” What do they mean by “neutral”? They said it was neither great nor bad, but my guess is there is no neutral option on the form
So what was the final outcome? You didn’t ask the recruiter?
It was a reject
The advice in hiring in general, in all companies, is to reject borderline candidates. It’s much more costly to hire a bad hire than to lose an ok hire. So they err on the side of caution.
I understand Neutral feedback as 'leaning bad' in this market.
Neutral is usually soft No or a soft Yes. They can swing either way depending on other interviews.
I’m probably way overthinking this, but if they refused to share the neutral outcomes, it’s safe to say they were leaning no hire?
Did you fail a coding round?
From what I heard, it sounds like one of the coding rounds was a no hire
I think what bit you was no hire in coding. For meta Coding is same bar across all levels and you need a hire else you are rejected. Sys design and behavioral : neutral might get you downlevel or reject based on other feedback. I really you need at least one or more strong hire. I believe your packet might not even sent to HC.
Timeline between onsite and result?
Bro look up the definition of neutral.
Yes, but I’m wondering more if the “neutral” rounds were leaning hire or leaning no hire
