Need advice

I Interviewed with Facebook for a PE role about 5 weeks back . My recruiter was super hard to get in touch with even before setting up onsite. I never got a response without dropping two emails.. on the day on onsite I was told I'll hear about the result in 48 hours, but I never heard back .I followed up every 4 days and didn't get a single response..2 weeks after onsite..I got super frustrated and emailed first initial recruiter who told me that I should hear from main recruiter by EOD. The recruiter still didn't call .called 2 days later and said no decision has been made yet and has to yet go through hiring committee and that I'll have an update within 4-5 days. Now it's been 3 weeks .I've been dropping emails every 4-5 days..not a single response. So basically after onsite, the only time I ever heard from recruiter was when I escalated..I'm really tired of waiting..what are my options..

Do you have competing offers? Have you given them any reason to expedite your process? If no, what's the hurry? Tell them that.

No I don't..but that's no reason to treat a candidate like this . I can't believe in what kind of professional world is it okay to ignore emails .I'm not asking for a decision, I'm just asking for an update, or a reply to my mail..I have dropped 8-9 emails in the last 5 weeks .and didn't hear back on even one of them

That sucks! Move on and let the other recruiter know about your bad experience. No one should get ghosted like that

Since I was told I wasn't rejected but hiring committee is due .I have some hope..but I'm appalled at how bad an experience can get..in what kind of environment is it okay to ignore emails like this

Why are you looking to move?

My recruiter was super fast at responding. He literally gave me the official offer letter within 2 days of onsite. For you case, I would suggest you to move on, because if FB is interested in a candidate, they process it fast.

They probably are not interested. Move on

How is this fair to candidate..even after 2 weeks of silence I was told I'm not rejected yet

Everything doesn't turn out to be fair when dealing with work. You just had a sour experience.
