I interviewed recently with Facebook for full-time SWE role for their graduate positions. I got a mail from the recruiter next day of the interview that they are moving me to candidate review phase, and that he will be contacting my references. It has been 1 week since then, and I haven't gotten an update from them. I enquired from the HR, but he was on leave. 1. Can this delay be as a result of delay from my references? 2. If the technical interviews went well, can there be a rejection solely based on cultural fit? 3. How important is the reference from the references in the final decision? P.S.: i interned with FB didn't get return offer and now trying for full time.

I gotta think if they are checking references, you’re getting an offer but telling you day after is way too quick And yea cultural fit matters
